169.254/16 addresses are allocated when an interface is configured to
accept dhcp queries but can't manage to get an address from anywhere.
These are RFC defined "Link Local" addresses.

Could you show us /sbin/ifconfig -a ?

I can't help wondering if the lack of an entry for eth0 and the Link Local
addresses for eth1 are related.  Could you have a config error making the
wrong interface query dhcp?

Cheers,
