I am afraid, no. The acenic module loads fine from the driver disk. The initialization message says it thinks it is "eth0". The last output from this message is: eth0: Firmware up and running At that point the link light on the NIC starts blinking. I then enter IP address etc. and anaconda starts the "reverse name lookup". At exactly that moment the link light goes permanently OFF. And the lookup just fails without further messages. -- Alf. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alf Wachsmann | e-mail: alfw.edu SLAC Computing Service | Phone: +1-650-926-4802 2575 Sand Hill Road, M/S 97 | FAX: +1-650-926-3329 Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA | Office: Bldg. 50/323 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you install roswell on the system via a different card/means, and try to bring up the gigabit ethernet card after rebooting into the installed system does it work? The only other means available on that machine is a CD-ROM drive. I _did_ install this machine via CDROM and (IIRC) /etc/modules.conf had the correct entries to bring the card up. However, the files ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 needed editing by hand. After making this change I could run "network stop" and then "network start" and everything worked. -- Alf. Have you had a chance to try Red Hat Linux 7.2 on this machine? I just tried it and it does work! -- Alf. Ok. Closing as "Currentrelease". Thanks for your report. |
