All the time.

Where from?  What reports that I mean?

If they are both initializing using DHCP correctly, what else is it doing
that's going wrong?

Aha!  Are you connecting them both on the same network segment?  DHCP might
well be setting up a route for eth1 which contradicts a route (to the same
network segment) that's already set for eth0.  That's a guess about
something that can "already exist [EEXIST]" during network bootup.

Send us (the list) the whole printout that lists the DHCP bootup so I can
have a look at what the DHCP initialization would be doing with it?
