I can confirm that FC3T5 works fine on this laptop. It seems something must have changed between Test 3 and the release of FC5. If there's anything else you'd like me to test, I'd be happy to try it out... In the meantime, I'll do a "yum update" from Test 3 to FC5. (It may take a while, as I'm on a slow network this week.) I experience the same problem with a NE2000 compatible pcmcia network card. 1. Boot from the boot.iso image 2. Choose the NFS/HTTP/FTP install method 3. Anaconda claims it can't find any NICs 4. Tell Anaconda to load the pcnet_cs module 5. Watch Anaconda still fail to find any NICs I tried replacing the kernel on the boot disk with the latest FC5 kernel (2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.i686) and the corresponding modules, but to no avail. However, running that kernel on my current system (FC3), the network card works! I would therefore suggest that this is not a kernel issue, but a bug in the anaconda loader. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. I no longer have access to this hardware, and since FC6 is out, I say we go ahead and close out this bug. |
