Do you actually have five supported ethernet cards in the machine? The problem is indded the last bcard is not recognized/configured duting the installation. After installation, it is no problem to configure it properly. Only eth0->eth3 are visible, which causes the installation abort on eth4. The configuration ; 3 pci 3com 3c59x 2 ISA 3com 3c5x9 All are working when configured manually after installation. In the meantime I tried the following : device eth 3c509 --options="xcvr=4,4 irq=10,5" device eth 3c509 --options="xcvr=4 irq=5" and via %pre #!/bin/sh modprobe 3c509 xcvr=4 irq=10 Still hav no success, but will add more comments doing some more tests tomorrow. Kernel options are no option. (yet) ISA network cards are not supported in the installer. Solution - Dasbale PnP feature on all ISA based NIC One of the nics was configured PnP. Solution : Get the 3c5x9xxx.exe (ftp.scom/com/pub/nic/3c5x9/) boot into dos and execute 3c5x9cfg.exe disable pnp, and check other config reboot and start installation. |
