Try bringing up eth1 instead. I too have a board with two nvidia nics
(msi neo4) and sometimes the primary ends up as eth0 and other times eth1.

Hi,
I used Len Sorenson's install image -- sarge-amd64-2.6.12-netinst.iso on a
Tyan S2895 Thunder K8WE board. This board has 2 onboard 802.3 Nvidia
ethernet ports. I used the forcedeth module (version 0.32). The eth0 port
registered the following error in dmesg:
eth0: no link during initialization
As a result of this failure, I couldn't complete the rest of the installation.
Everything up to the point of requiring 'net access worked fine with Len's
install image.
I will probably look to getting some kind of pci ethernet card to put in this
box, that is unless some individual can point me to a solution to getting
eth0 up and running with the forcedeth module.
Any ideas about getting the onboard ethernet ports working or am I going to
have to go the route of getting some pci card. And if so, suggestions on
good, well supported cards would be appreciated.
Thanks Len for this install image.
