*** Bug 121908 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've done more digging - this may be a due to a single bad motherboard or PCI slot. I obtained two other chassises - each an exact duplicate of the first - and they worked relatively OK with the new version of the Pro/1000MT NIC. I say "relatively OK" because Anaconda flagged the card as a generic e1000 class card rather than being more specific. But at least I was able to reach my kickstart server. My suggestions are these: - Fix anaconda so that it knows more than this card is simply a generic. I'd say that's a low priority thing. - Close this bug report as one of those random things caused by cosmic rays or things that go bump in the night. Anaconda shows which driver it will use; the e1000 driver will drive all e1000 class hw; the driver knows about the various models. Anything beyond that is just cosmetics..... If it's a duff slot then yeah it's best to close this bug; but if it comes back do not hesitate to reopen the bug. |
