On second thoughts after re-reading your post and having some coffee, I guess my initial reply might have been too quick. :-)
I'm not sure what the problem is... perhaps checking for shared IRQs or incorrect PNP settings in the BIOS. Most BIOSen have a setting Auto and a reset config data - try those.... You should also try the etherboot floppy for the builtin NIC. Having two NICs in the PC might confuse the kernel as it trys to boot if it detects the builtin NIC first. ---Venkat.
