Temporarily blacklist e1000e.
The e1000e driver is currently believed to cause onboard flash checksum errors in
the 2.6.26 through 2.6.27-rc7 series kernels. These checksum errors
can become severe enough to permanently disable the operation of the
ICH8/ICH9 based e1000e NICs.

For reference, please see:

This is hopefully a temporary measure.
