You can try forcing linux to find the hardware by shutting down, removing
the NICs, rebooting without them...shutting down again, replacing the NICs,
and rebooting with them. This should bring up kudzu, or whatever MDK uses at
startup to detect new hardware, and you can config from there.
You may also check to see whether you are actually experiencing a confclict
between pump and dhcpd. rpm -e them both (just in case) and replace dhcpd.
Something may have become currupt in dhcpd.
I compared the etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file with mine, and
what you've left is exactly the same as mine...nothing wrong there.
