I am also stuck on this problem. I installed 10.04 LTS x64 in a basic (text mode) install on a VMWare vCenter virtual machine.
The initial machine works.
When I clone this machine, and boot the clone, the clone does not get working networking.
As part of trying to diagnose/fix this, I'm running into the same problem with cryptic error messages.

I *think* it has something to do with trying to run these commands while something in networking is still trying to start in the background, because waiting for five minutes and re-trying, I get another message (about eth0 not being a recognized interface)
