This appears to be a problem with the kernel APIC drivers related to the 
on-board chipset. The solution is to add the following to lilo:

	append=noapic

This will allow the kernel to communicate properly with the network 
adaptor.

During this festive little excursion, I had to build a missing
/etc/config.d/network/eth0 by hand, with constant references to
/etc/init.d/network to try and figure out what belonged where. Did I miss
a more obvious way to rerun certain install-time configurations?
