You need to apply that patch to /etc/hotplug/pci.agent that was sent
by at the beginning of last week (from Dan Zink @ COmpaq).  The PCI
ID syntax changed again, it uses colons not "/" ... one hopes it stays

Likely you just need that patch.

What would syslog show though?  I know that MII messages come
out of pegasus when the interface is brought up.

You should check whether "ifconfig eth0" shows that it's up.
