I'm using 7.0 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4260. Had the expected troubles
with the Savage IX chip under XFree86, but got that done. Love the system.
Long story short, my network also works (Linksys PCMPC200 10/100Mbps PC
Card), but shows:
>Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization [FAILED]
upon system startup. By the time I get to runlevel 3 or 5, however, I
can get network access without any problems and typing either "service
network restart" or "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" (equivalent, I
know) works well.

I think I've found the first steps to an answer...
The network starts before PCMCIA Card Services do. Hence both our network
cards *cannot* initialize, since they have no card services. Later, when
PCMCIA services start, then we can do "service network restart" and get a
network. So it actually did fail, just not permanently.

I haven't even been to samba yet. But my xinetd is having fits. It shows
[FAILED] upon system startup. "service xinetd status" says xinetd is dead
but the pid file exists. "service xinetd restart" succeeds. Upon system
shutdown, however, xinetd shutdown is [FAILED].

Amen.
Now, how to arrive at a permanent solution? Should we change the startup
order so that pcmcia-cs starts before network? This seems like such a
blindingly obvious solution that I'm sure there's a good reason why it
hasn't been done yet...
