None of that worked.  When I edited out the HWADDR lines, I got this
instead:

Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 network: Setting network parameters:
succeeded
Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 network: Bringing up loopback interface:
succeeded
Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 ifup: e1000 device eth0 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 network: Bringing up interface eth0:  failed
Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 ifup: e1000 device eth1 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
Feb  7 06:36:34 sparenode1 network: Bringing up interface eth1:  failed

Hwconf did not change significantly when I ran kudzu, so I have no idea
what's going on here.

Again, this works exactly as is on 32-bit builds.  It only fails on the
64 bit build.

Editing out HWADDR should fix your problem. Another possible solution
is to check that the value in the HWADDR line in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX  is the same as listed in
the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf for the corresponding network interface.
Also make sure that the files
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-ethX and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are hard links to the same
file.
You can regenerate the content of the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf by
removing it and running kudzu again.
