I think what I might do next is try to disable the Ethernet driver from
starting.

IIRC bringing Eth0 up is in the part of the initscripts you can elect to
enable or disable if you type 'I' during the startup sequence?  This is
totally from my dim memory.

If that is so, hit the 'I' key when you see "press 'I' to enter
interactive startup" and when (if!) it asks, do not run the script to
bring up eth0.

Then once you boot with no eth0, you can have a look in the logs to see
if there is any diagnostic, and consider to bring eth0 up by hand while
doing a tail -f /var/log/messages in another window to see what you can see.

- -Andy
