Sis 900 Ethernet Card Problem

[mfr100 at libero.it]

My distro is Linux FC2 and in my PC I have a main board with Sis 900 network device embedded in the main board.
After installation of Linux FC2 the network hardware was automatically found by the system and I only configured the network device using the graphic interface (no dhcp and I put IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address).

When I restart the PC I have this error at boot:
"Sis 900 device eth0 does not seem to be present. Delaying initialization"
I have the same error if I try to Activate the device from the graphic interface.

I have checked BIOS and it seems OK: I have no plug and play OS setted and the LAN board is active.

ifconfig does not show me any information about my device. Just the loopback interface.

I run modprobe sis900 but it did not help.

I tried also to disable OnBoard LAN from BIOS and enable it again just to run Kudzu and configure again the NIC board but it did not help.

I attach the dmesg output .

I am new to Linux, can anyone help me?
Thanks.

ciao
