Problem finding eth1 after rebooting



Hi all,

My Debian box has been running for several months now. It has two 8139 based
Ethernet cards. Both were previously being successfully detected by Debian
and used.

I upgraded to the latest Stable when it came out, and I'm not sure I've
rebooted since then.

Today I had to shut the box down and restart it several hours later due to
electricity work in the area. When the box came back up it is no longer
detecting the second network card.

If I boot from the 2.2 kernel on the install CD for 3.0r1, it detects both
cards. If I boot from the bf24 option on that same CD, it only detects one
card.

lspci is only showing one card under Debian (apologies for the long lines):

00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 651 Host (rev 02)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter

Has anyone got any ideas why the module is no longer detecting the second
card? Why isn't it showing in lspci? Could some module parameter be required
to tell the module that there are two cards, that has somehow been 'lost'
during the upgrade to the latest stable?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer.

Cheers

Andy
