So this says eth0 is a via rhine II, and eth1 is a sundance.  Since you
have two devices, it is possible that booting a 2.6 kernel you will end
up with them swapped.  Or maybe one of them won't load at all.

You could add those drivers in order to /etc/modules to see if that
helps.  Just add via-rhine and then sundance to the end of /etc/modules.
I know the discover used in sarge wasn't perfect and missed some
devices, or in some cases got it wrong because of the different driver
names in 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
