Check the kernel log for messages regarding the device.  In a
terminal: "dmesg | grep -i eth".

It might be a Mandriva-specific problem.  Try their forums.

Some reports indicate that "acpi=noirq" needs specified in the kernel
boot parameters.  With Grub you can try it by hitting Esc at the Grub
boot message, selecting the kernel image you normally boot with, press
"e" to edit it, select the kernel boot line and press "e" again, add
"acpi=noirq" to the end of the line, press Enter, then "b" to boot.
This is a temporary change.  To set it permanently you need to edit
the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

If you are using Lilo instead of Grub then I'm not sure how to change it.
