[expert] eth0 Delaying initialization [FAILED]

[Shannon M. Johnston]

I'm trying to put together a firewall system using Mandrake 6.1. I keep
getting this message when I start up.
eth0 Delaying initialization [FAILED]
eth1 Delaying initialization [FAILED]
What is going on? Did I feed it something it didn't like?

TIA.
