I went back and looked at the contents of the two scripts:

Contents of ifcfg-eth0:
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

ifcfg-lo.rpmsave is a link to /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-lo, which
doesn't exist. I went into ifcfg-eth0 and changed USERCTL to yes. That
allows me to start initialization from my own login, but I still get the
message about rtl8129's absence. Could Realtek 8169 be dependent on it?
