My eyes uncrossed, and I saw, buried in there, the firstlink, above, and
the last. You might want to see if a) the 8168d firmware patch will work
on that card; b) vhost - it's a virtual host? perhaps it's trying to load
the firmware patch to the real NIC, and as a guest VM, it doesn't have
rights?

I cannot seem to find a fix for this even given the references
provided. However, I have discovered that eth1 has problems on the
second host as well, it just does not generate the same messages:

So, my questions are: What is the problem and how do I fix it for both
hosts?

Have you tried the updated driver I suggested?
Set up elrepo.org repository and then do:
yum install kmod-r8168
reboot and test.
If it doesn't work you can uninstall it and you've lost nothing but 10
minutes of your time.

Do you actually have the kernel-firmware package installed that provides
the firmware?
rpm -q kernel-firmware

vhost is a kvm host system, not a virtualized guest. As I wrote
elsewhere, I installed the kmod package from elrepo that handles this
device, which solution I believe you may have originally suggested to
me. In any case, that seems to have solved the problem (fingers
crossed).
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it very much.
Sorry about your eyes. But when things are totally unfamiliar to me I
hesitate to trim error logs lest out of ignorance I remove what is
really important.
