eth0 initialisation fails after Fedora 6 upgrade

Hi


I installed FD6 yesterday on an oldish shuttle box - no problems.


But after installing all the suggested updated packages the machine is not able to access the
network. I have a standard DHCP network working through an ADSL router.
An XP box on the same network works fine.


The boot message is "Determing IP information for eth0..... failed"

The kernel is 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6
I also have 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 (presumably the original?) The same problem happens when booting with
this one.


/etc/sysconfig/network contains:
NETWORKING=YES
NETWORKING_IPV6=YES
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contains:
#Realtek SemiConductor Company RTL 8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:30:18:AE:13:33
ONBOOT=yes



I have no idea how to resolve this. Please Help!


Many thanks - Adam

Sorry I should have said Fedora Core 6.

Looks like DHCP is failing.

Does the machine have more than one NIC?
