No the kernel does detect but does not bring-up eth0.

The dmesg gives the following, as related to eth0:

eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:02:A5:A4:3F:BF, IRQ 11.
 Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.

The dmesg is similar to my older LFS booted with kernel-2.6.14.


Does ip or kernel give any other output?  Try this once the system is up:

ip link set eth0 up # or down
echo $?

Maybe do a 'dmesg -n 7' before hand to see all the kernel messages on the console.

The output should be the same, but maybe not...we'll see.

If that fails, as I expect it should, try 'ip addr show' and see if eth0 is in the list at all, but I can't see why it would be. I'm just grasping for straws in hopes that something obvious will show up to help you.
