The problem was that the PCI PNP code switched the ethernet cards on me
(eth0 -> eth1 and eth1 -> eth0).

I tried several things to fix it "the right way", including boot prompt
parameters, lilo append=, and conf.modules.  None of them worked.

At last night's BLU meeting (http://www.blu.org), everyone told me to
just give up and swap the network cards in their PCI slots.  So after
the meeting I waved my white flag and did that.  Of course that worked,
and now my server is up again.

Again, thanks for all your help.
