The crash is apparently after loading thje eepro100 module. occurs on PowerEdge 8450 and new 6600 and 4600. Performed an expert noprobe and specified the e100 module. Install crashed with this as well. On virtual console 3 the last statement shown is: going to insmod eepro100. All ethernet devices are probed and listed before this. Using combinations with other manufacturers nics allows the # of nic ports to exceed 11, Have successfully ran with 5 dual port intel, 1 single intel, 3 broadcom 5701. Just to clarify -- you're saying that this only happens if it's twelve or more eepro100s? Arjan -- do you have any ideas here? It may be 12 or more of any single device, we don't know, because the only dual-port cards we have are Intel. We've tried both e100 and eepro100 drivers, so it seems unlikely to be just Intel cards, more likely to be an installer problem. This is in text mode only? It crashes before getting to graphical mode. *** Bug 58508 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am attempting to do a 7.2 kickstart upgrade on Dell 1550, 1650, 2450, 2550 (all have multiple, 2 or 3, onboard nics (eepro100, broadcom, or e1000). As soon as the /sbin/loader starts; the installer exists with: "install exited abnormally -- recieved signal 11" It is imperative I get anaconda to function on these Dell systems... has anyone made any progress on this issue? It would appear to be > 12 nic independent. Please advise, Mike Snitzer msnitzer I do not have access to this type of hardware - if Dell can provide a system with the required networking adapters we can proceed on this issue. 7 dual-port intel nics should be in your lap sometime next week. Got the cards, I see the problem and I hope to have a fix in CVS today. Thanks for sending the cards, it makes all the difference on these types of issues. I have this fixed, needs testing in next internal tree. Tested to work. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
