May I provide evidence to the contrary?
I compile my own kernels, and use them exclusively unless some problem
arises which forces me to use another kernel. Therefore, I keep a stock
Debian kernel installed and available via GRUB in case something bad
happens with my kernels.
In the Fall I had to replace the motherboard on my desktop system, and
it uses r8169. The Debian kernels for 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 will boot fine
on this hardware and provide perfectly working ethernet support.
When 2.6.32-truck (AMD64 here) was released, I tried switching to that
for my Debian backup kernel... but it hangs in boot, with some very
nasty backtracing. It does print the warning about missing firmware,
but the boot will not finish -- unlike previous Debian kernels on this
same hardware.

Please send these boot messages. A screenshot will do, but you might
need to use the kernel parameter "vga=6" to avoid messages scrolling off
the screen.
Found some time before work this morning. Find the last series of
messages attached, including the kernel oops. I had to manually type
this, so I apologize in advance for typos -- I did try to make
corrections before rebooting, but no doubt I missed some stuff.
The kernel was still responsive after the oops, but just sat there at
the last line you see. The console was still processing keyboard input
and Magic SysRq keys still worked. The scroll buffer was not very large
-- if you would like, I could boot again with some "fbcon" parameter
magic and try to see if there was any more excitement happening before
the final lines I was able to see.
Last time I tried this kernel, I seem to recall there was one or two
other stack traces before the major oops we see here... but I have to
admit that I don't relish the idea of manually typing in several hundred
kB of boot message spew. I'll at least take another look when I get
home from work: if I find anything, maybe I could just copy the parts
that seem relevant? (Or would you prefer as much exact transcription as
possible?)
