Hi

Try addign theese lines to your /etc/lilo.conf

append = "ether=3,0x0300,eth0 ether=5,0x0320,eth1"

This syntax works for me running 2.1.122. Maybe you'll have to check if
the syntax is different for 2.0.27. See the Ethernet-HOWTO.

If this doesn't help, try booting with only one of the ether lines. See if
you get the cards working one by one. There might be some IRQ conflicts.
