From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.23 [en] Description of problem: Presence of recent Intel Pro/1000 MT card (Intel part PWLA8391MT, with 82541 chip) causes Anaconda (and the kernel in general) to not see either that particular NIC card or any of the built-in NICs that have the same or Intel chipsets (e.g. 82546EB.) Intel has reved the Pro/1000 to use a new chipset (82541). Things work fine if the new-version of the Pro/1000 is removed from the machine and the older version, Intel part number PWLA8390MT (with 82540 chipset), used in its place. It is only the new cards that cause the system to fail to recognize *any* of the Intel NICs in the machine. In Anaconda this manifests itself by an inability to do kickstart/NFS installations. This problem affects Anaconda during the install as well as the full system post-install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install recent version of Intel Pro/1000MT (Part PWLA8391MT) 2. Try to install Fedora Core 2 test 3 from CD with command line of "linux ks=nfs:somehosthost:ks.cfg" 3. Actual Results: Rather than getting to the screen that asks which of my NIC's to use (which is what normally happens when the older Intel NICs are installed) no network interfaces are found and Andaconda goes forward and asks for languages etc, and eventually asks for a install medium. If the user enters "nfs" and then selects driver e1000 the machine comes back and says there is no matching hardware. Expected Results: Anaconda should have asked me to pick one of my NICs and then begun the kickstart. Additional info: Platform is a Supermicro Motherboard X5DPR-IG2+, dual Xeon, 512Meg, 40gig drive dual built-in intel NICs, one additional Pro/1000MT Intel Nic in a PCI slot.
