The Bad EIP message is just a symptom.  It indicates that the CPU wasn't able
to store the executable instruction pointer for some reason.  Where is the
bootup process just before the system goes into panic?

Typically, a bad EIP message means that the system can't initialize a certain
piece of hardware, so I wouldn't ruled out your network card.  Can you pull it
and boot up successfully?
