Your problem is listed on the first line.
Wrong kernel...
Test your boot diskette first!
use kpackage to browse the /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS. Look for things starting
with the word kernel. Read the file descriptions.
I have not had to do this so cannot step by step you though it(I installed the
patched kernel). You will need to remove the wrong one
and install the right one and probably fix lilo and make a second boot disk to
replace the one you have.
The line that reads "Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization
[FAILED]" just means that there was no builtin support for your network card.
Once you get this fixed that line will (Probably) still show up as the pcmcia
drivers are loaded after this command. If it bugs you to see this message
change the order of bring up network / load modules
