Your ethernet cards are not being initialized. Please check
/etc/modules.conf and see if you have lines similar to:
alias eth0 e100
The second argument to alias should be the modules for your ethernet
cards. You should have two lines like above one for eth0 and the other
for eth1. I suspect they are missing, since the output of dmesg you
posted doesn't show them being initialised. They probably would show
up in lspci as you indicated, because the pci bus has recognized them.
However, that doesn't mean that the kernel loaded the modules for
them. If they aren't in modules.conf the kernel will not load the
modules.
Hope this helps.
