Here's the big clue:

Sep 24 22:01:25 dfpc60 systemd-modules-load[185]: Module 'netconsole' is builtin

which means that it's going to get initialized during *very* early boot, before
the initramfs gets called. netconsole is able to do the equivalent of
'ifconfig' (or at least enough of it to set the IPs/ports/ARP entries before
the rest of networking comes up), but it can't also get the physical device up and
running if the hardware driver isn't present.

Since it's builtin, this is probably a custom-built kernel.  So make sure that
the driver for eth0 is also builtin.
