As it happens I was respinning Fedora 7 when I checked back here! Yes, it would appear that rebuilding the whole distro solves the problem, but I can't help thinking that I'm using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
I've patched the initrd (for x86_64 only) with the latest e1000 (7.6.5) from Intel. Now the installation works fine.
I've put a copy on: ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/f7e1000
The e1000.ko file, however, is nearly 20 times bigger than the original, but it seems to work.
