Ok, so you have an e1000 nic, but OpenSSI doesn't seem to find it.  
Maybe our old version of the kernel doesn't know about your nice new card.

 From your base lenny system could you try doing a lspci to find out the 
pci id's of the card, something likeL

lspci -n -k

should show the interesting stuff

For example on one of my systems I get:

$ lspci -n -k
...
02:0c.0 0200: *8086:100e* (rev 02)
	Kernel driver in use: *e1000*
	Kernel modules: e1000



Also, is the e1000 driver really being included in the ramdisk?

After you've installed OpenSSI, just before doing the reboot that 
doesn't work, examine the ramdisk:

    # gunzip </boot/initrd.img-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp >/tmp/initrd
      

(replace initrd.img-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp with the real name of your initrd)

    # mount -o loop /tmp/initrd /mnt
    # ls -lR /mnt/lib/modules
      

Do you see e1000.ko somewhere under /mnt/lib/modules?

    # ls -R /mnt/lib/modules/
    /mnt/lib/modules/:
    2.6.14-ssi-686-smp

    /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.14-ssi-686-smp:
