This has happened to me with both 10.0 and 10.1 on my Dell Latitude CPiA. eth0 would come up if I did ifup eth0, but without an IP and with no static routes. If I tried to set a static IP during install, or if I tried to set it via MCC once I logged in, eth0 initialization would fail on subsequent boots and could not be reset via MCC. I found that if I manually place the necessary network info in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (and add MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes), make sure to add the hostname to /etc/sysconfig/network, and place the DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf then eth0 would initialize on boot.
