I'd suggest that you make the RAM 32MB or 48MB. You might hit swap and slow down occationally otherwise.

I can't help with the PnP stuff, but it looks to me like your ethernet card is a 10/100 card that can't figure out if it needs to operate as a 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s card. This could be something as simple as needing to plug it into a hub before turning it on.
