try snort -i eth1 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

The parameter you want is lower-case, not upper case.

-I causes snort to print the receiving interface name in the logs, and 
accepts no parameters
-i selects an interface by name, and the name of the interface follows.

Since you used capital I, snort is treating "eth1" as a bpf declaration, 
which isn't valid bpf syntax and it fails.
