On my nforce2 mboard(MSI K7N2 MCP2-T) I would see that err if onboard ethernet was enabled. I haven't gotten eth to work and I have to disable onboard ethernet. I had to disable usb for a while, now it just doesn't work but doesn't cause a problem so I disable it anyway. I am using a tulip card instead of onboard ethernet. I disable the parallel port.
