eth0: Media selection timer tick.
eth0: possible phy reset: re-initializing

This is why the reset is being triggered - it's a workaround for a hardware
bug which checks to make sure the hardware is in the state that the
kernel thinks it is is going off.  The code has this explanatory comment:

 * 2) check for sudden death of the NIC:
 *    It seems that a reference set for this chip went out with incorrect info,
 *    and there exist boards that aren't quite right.  An unexpected voltage
 *    drop can cause the PHY to get itself in a weird state (basically reset).
 *    NOTE: this only seems to affect revC chips.

Code commented out and NIC is working OK. Strange.
eth0: DSPCFG accepted after 0 usec.
eth0: link up.
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on negotiated link capability.

One problem solved in mean time :-)

PCI: CS5530 video turned off.

[BTW, as Andrew said please don't drop people from the CC.]
I didn't. It is Thunderbird. I'm included instead of You. Fixed 
manually this time.
