Hi All,
I am running Fedora 8 32-bit with no updates (fresh install) on a server
with a Tyan S5380 motherboard with the latest 2.00 BIOS. This
motherboard has two Intel GbE ports on the motherboard.
Oddly, when I type ifconfig -a, these GbE ports appear as eth10 and
eth11. There is no eth0. I've been around Linux for a few years and have
never seen anything like this, so I'm stumped. Why would it not map
these GbE ports as eth0 and eth1, as expected?

Any ideas on this?
No, but I have seen this behaviour on a virtual Debian system I have
here. In my case, I attributed it without much thought to the fact I did
not provide a MAC address, and I was running it directly with qemu-kvm
and not through virt* (which provides a consistent one for each virtual
machine).
