This fixed it. I can now boot the kernel using the ether3. It performs the
same as the Ether1 card. That is I have the same problem with the Ether3
as with the Ether1 card running the kernel (see below). Unfortunatly I
can not make any other comparisons between the drivers 8-(.

Even a kernel with only a text segment of 805760 bytes failes to run.
