It sounds like you've got two different problems there. Firstly, the 
support for your on-board ethernet chipset is a little flaky under 
Linux. For instance, the forcedeth driver sometimes requires the machine 
to be powered off completely for 15 seconds between reboots, if 
dual-booting with Windows. Easiest solution: put a standard PCI ethernet 
card into the machine until the driver stabilises.

Your second problem appears to be that your Radeon card is not being 
autodetected properly. Please log in as root on the console (terminal 
mode) and run:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Please let us know if that works for you.

Cheers!

Daniel
