FC5 ethernet problem

I just upgraded my perfectly-working FC4 system to FC5, and the 
ethernet's stopped :-(

Here's what things say:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I presume that the problem is that "e100_probe: Cannot obtain PCI 
resources, aborting." thing.  But I'm afraid I don't have a clue what 
to do about it...

The machine works fine under Windows XP, and FC4 worked fine before the 
upgrade.

Can anyone help?

Yours

Adrian
