Is the IP address in the error message 192.168.1.8 pr 192.168.1.6?
The reason I ask is because the static IP address in ifcfg-eth0 is
192.168.1.6 - I hope it is just a typo.

Now, the error message is normally caused when there is another
machine on the network using the IP address. I have never seen dual
booting cause this problem. The MAC address should be the same in
both OS's.

Some information about your network would probably help. What
machines are on it. Are they all using static IP addresses? Could
the DHCP server, if you are using one, have already given the
address out to another machine?
