Unfortunately that message has absolutely nothing with your Ethernet ports.
There are two things you should check. Do you have a /var/log directory?
If so, is there a boot.log in it? If there is a directory but no boot.log,
simply touch /var/log/boot.log and that message should go away. boot.log is
normally created when you boot. I don't know why you aren't getting one
unless you don't have a /var/log directory, and this would be *bad*. The
directory is created by the filesystem rpm, and you should re-install it if
you don't have a /var/log. Not having this package installed could
certainly create havoc...
