I have built two machines with the 2.6.0 kernel. Both machines are exhibiting this problem. Both use the e1000 driver. I have e1000 in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. The e1000 module is loaded during boot. However, /etc/init.d/net.eth0 fails to bring up the network. Yet, I can log in as root and type "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" and everything works fine.

sorry but what you are doing ? dhcp or _complete_ config for eth0 not dhcp and incomplete config for your devices
I see your point, Martin. I commented out the gateway, broadcast, and netmask lines, and all is well since I'm using DHCP. What's weird is that it worked before my install of the 2.6.0 kernel. Oh well. Thanks for turning the light on.
Looks like this is fixed.
