arg I meant to say options eth0 -o ne-0 io=0x280 irq=5 options eth1 -o ne-1 io=0x300 irq=7 johnlar This issue has been forwarded to a developer for further action. *** Bug 5491 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** using bootnet with a NE2000 CARD ISA, did not allow to specify an IO PORT for the card, so, install REDHAT 6.1 Over the Network using a NE2000 ISA CARD IS NOT POSSIBLE ------- Additional Comments From gafton 10/05/99 02:36 ------- msw is wnjoying these types of bugs :-) ------- Additional Comments From bugfix 10/11/99 11:48 ------- RH 6.1 BOOTNET using NE2000 ISA Card, THERE IS IO PORT Option Use the additional option or something similar .... it just worked for me but it was a pain to figure out what the IO was *** Bug 5685 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** On machines with Tulip and VIA-Rhine LAN cards I have successfully installed 6.1 for i386, and the installer has auto-detected the LAN card. When I try on machines with NE2000 cards, the card is not auto-detected. When I manually select the NE2000 driver I get a "resource busy" message. Another point. When I reach the point of setting the FTP parameters for install, the option to set a specific login ID and password (rather than anonymous FTP) seems to have disappeared in 6.1 Like a lot of others reporting here, I also get lots of Python errors when trying an upgrade. Only a fresh install seems to work, but this is hardly a fresh bug report. *** Bug 5811 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi I have the problem on install the redhat 6.1 on network install. My network adapter is a PCI NE2000, but the module not is in network image. Why I do in this case? Thanks Claudio Jr. ------- Additional Comments From jturner 10/11/99 08:17 ------- The NE2000 module is indeed in the installer image. If it is not getting loaded automatically, then you will want to run in the installer in expert mode and specify your hardware manually. To run the installer in expert mode, just type "expert" at the boot prompt. Reopen this bug if you continue to have problems. ------- Additional Comments From csjunior.br 10/12/99 16:50 ------- Hi Yes, on my test I load the module with the expert mode on install of redhat 6.1, but there is the option of ne2000 and pci ne2000 on normal install of redhat 6.1. It is a bug? ------- Additional Comments From 10/17/99 13:05 ------- "NE1000, NE2000, and compatible" option doesn't work on my isa-NE2000- card, here's the error: "/tmp/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy" Redhat 6.0 ftp-installation worked just fine. The card is from Edimax and plug'n'play is off and it works on 6.0. Haven't tried the expert mode yet, but defining the settings(irq, resource) didn't help. *** Bug 5851 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is a new problem that did not exist in 6.0 installer because the installation program _always_ allowed you to tell it you had a network card and worked with you until it was recognized. the current system will _never_ ask you if you have a network card, even when you are doing a server install, if it does not see your network card. The auto detection routines are broken. They weren't this broken in redhat 6.0, as they recognized the card when I pointed them to the card. Under the expert option in RH 6.1, I had to fill in the card parameters, something I _did_ _not_ have to do in RH 6.0. I just told it that was the card. Under the Expert option, it is not clear that the network card you tried to enter was rejected, as no POP UP appears to indicate this to you. A pop up only appears when you get it right. I was thrown by this the first time, as a small error message showed up at the bottom of the screen and did not register. All in all, I am disappointed by this one thing. It will cause me much grief for me and my customers (I'm a consultant). ------- Additional Comments From 11/01/99 04:53 ------- Yes. Had that problem. Compiles isa ne into a kernel and it came up fine. With the ne, lp0, pppd hassles, Redhat can do better. 5.2 is still Redhat's best release. Have the same problem with Accton 166X ISA card. RH6.0 finds it without any problem; in RH6.1 it doesn't install at all. Same proposal as usual: why not ask for netcard if you set up server or networked workstation and the installer doesn't see the netcard? Issue has been put on a features request list. Does RH 6.2 or the Pinstripe beta help with this issue? Moving to RESOVLED - DEFERRED from CLOSED - DEFERRED Moving to RESOVLED - DEFERRED from CLOSED - DEFERRED Closing because this issue should be resolved by the current release. |
