Ok.  By the above entries being in the table, the kernel is "seeing" the
lcs adapters (two of them, one at 0x0080 and 0xb406); but the lcs module
is failing to register two lcs eth0 devices (ie the "in use" and
"chandev reg" fields are set to "no" instead of "yes") ...

do you have an entry in /etc/modules.conf that aliases the lcs module to
eth0 (and eth1):

# cat /etc/modules.conf
...
alias eth0 lcs
...
#

with the 64-bit version (7.1) of Red Hat Linux, I'm able to have the lcs
devices recognized and adapters enabled (I'm not sure how close that is
to your ThinkBlue/64 7.1a distro) ... so my entries in /proc/chandev
have "in use" and "chandev reg" set to "yes":

# cat /proc/chandev
...
0x01d7 0x0c00 0x04  0x3088 0x60  0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x0a00000000000000 
yes   yes
0x01d8 0x0c01 0x04  0x3088 0x60  0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x0a00000000000000 
yes   yes
...
0x01e1 0x0d00 0x04  0x3088 0x60  0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x0b00000000000000 
yes   yes
0x01e2 0x0d01 0x04  0x3088 0x60  0x0000 0x00 0x80 0x0b00000000000000 
yes   yes

and then my eth0 interface is available:

# lsmod | awk ' /Module/||/lcs/ '

lcs                    32400   1
