Comment out the pcnet_cs entry in /etc/modprobe.conf, and set ONBOOT=no
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, and reboot. Actually an
'rmmod pcnet_cs' and 'service pcmcia restart' should work in lieu of
rebooting.
The problem is your ethernet pcmcia card driver module is being loaded
before pcmcia is started and the card controller module is loaded. This
fails to work of course, and the later starting of pcmcia fails because
the controller module conflicts with the already loaded card driver.
The two changes above remedy the order things start in, and you will
find that the ethernet interface does get started automatically at boot,
because once pcmcia is started the card is detected and the interface
for it is started.
