You should be able to reproduce the error message by issuing
/etc/rc.d/init/d/network start. The boxes that I have had problems with,
and I have one currently, ethernet cards not initializating at boot has to
do with the driver module. See if using insmod by hand (/sbin/insmod
/lib/modules/(kernver)/net/(driver) throws any errors. If not, check the
conf.modules or modules.conf in /etc for a line that looks like alias eth0
(drivername). Of course, having done all that I still can't get one of my
Mandrake boxen to recognize the two cards it has on boot, but they insert
fine by hand afterward. Maybe I should stop being helpful...
