Strange. Your card uses the natsemi module, right? Can you open a
shell on the 2nd virtual terminal (alt-F2), and a) check if this
module has been loaded (look at /proc/modules) and b) and if not load
it by hand (modprobe natsemi). Does that help?

Yes, this has been requested already: #248061: Show which network card is active

Strange, this should definitely work. Okay, I see what might possibly
be wrong. Let me CC the LVM maintainer Andres Salomon. Andres,
lvmcfg tests whether LVM is available by checking if /proc/lvm exists.
I guess this might not exist on 2.6. How can I find out if LVM is
available?

What failed here? Did you not continue without LVM?
