Looks like Alan may have been having a Chuckie moment. I don't see any documentation that shows a TYPE ETHERNET option on NICDEF or DEFINE NIC either. When the system boots up, there should be some entries in the kernel ring buffer that shows what it found and any errors the NIC driver encountered. Looking through the output of "dmesg" might be useful. I suspect that Brad's right about the portname not being set to match the VSWITCH's value. And, as Brad suggests, verify that you have the appropriate entry in your ifcfg-eth1 file: OPTIONS='layer2=1' Even if it won't get used until you get the port online, you're going to want to have it in there anyway when you do get it online.
