I have tried both virtio and the default (8139too).

And what is the actual eth hw on the host?

Currently r8169.

speedster@whimper:~$ sudo ethtool -i eth1
driver: r8169
version: 2.3LK-NAPI
firmware-version:
bus-info: 0000:03:01.0

eth0 (currently unused) is a r8168 but uses the same driver.

The original dumps were taken on whinge, I have attached two new dumps 
showing the functional (2.6.24) and non-functional (2.6.27) states 
from the host.

At least to me those didn't reveal anything new :-(.
