Sounds like your ethernet card is not being probed at the IRQ / I/O port / shared memory address that the kernel is looking. What are you card settings? Have you tried to boot with the "-c" option and tell the kernel the settings for your card? What does "dmesg | grep ed0" return? Odds are it says "not found". Good Luck!
