Are you able to see the interface after it boots up (using ifconfig -a)?
If so then at least the module loaded ok.
If you can see the interface, check the configuration of the interface
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Is the BOOTPROTO variable
set to dhcp?
If thats set, try to run:
ifup eth0
if it fails again, check /var/log/messages for any debugging output.
