what do you get when you run /sbin/ifconfig -a?
Perhaps the new network card requires a different driver for your kernel...
And if you are not familiar with the process of building/loading new
modules for the kernel, I am not sure if there is an *easy* way to do
this, except for letting the installer run and guessing what modules you
need....

Your query is a bit vague,
but the entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
has to be correct.
The various network wizards should hopefully do this.
Thanks, Timothy. I agree that my query is vague, but I do not know how
to make it more detailed. Maybe someone could tell me what I should
add to describe better my problem. However, I suspect from what I see
at shutdown time that the problem is related with HWADDR. The content
of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is quoted below:
# more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:30:4F:2B:8C:84
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

I would like to add that my Ethernet card was changed together with
the processor upgrade.
