anaconda does very little these days when it comes to module loading. We have the same problem with a Dell E6410 with F13 beta; it's work with F12 : [root@e6410-spare1 (Fedora 12) ~]$ lspci | grep Ethernet 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10ea (rev 05) If it's not anaconda what is it ? Will this pb be solved before F13 Final Release ? So this works with a live image but when pxe-booting the ethernet doesn't work? Yes Andy, the initial problem (and statements) also hold for F13 final. I've got a fix for this. Just need to figure out how to integrate it into F13 so that users can actually install F13 over the network after over PXE booting. Backporting this fix does it:

e1000e: Reset 82577/82578 PHY before first PHY register read
Using a kernel provided by agospoda, which contains the patch from comment#6, I rebuilt the Fedora 13 pxeboot images. They are available for test at http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/updates/580563/ Can someone please test and confirm this addresses the reported problem. If confirmed, I will document this issue on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs Thanks, James! Dear James I tested the 64-Bit files and the bug is gone! eth0 gets recognized and kickstart runs like it should. Thanks a lot for your help! Dear James I tested the 64-Bit files and the bug is gone! eth0 gets recognized and kickstart runs like it should. Thanks a lot for your help! Urs: Thanks for the feedback! I have documented this issue and the workaround at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs#pxeboot-e1000e the i686 files work for me too thanks for the fix I've confirmed that this new kernel and initrd fixes the problems I saw on my Lenovo T410. Verified with x86_64. I also hit this problem using boot.fedoraproject.org -- the updates in comment #7 fix the issue, but could the fixes be pushed to the images at b.f.o too? (In reply to comment #14) > I also hit this problem using boot.fedoraproject.org -- the updates in comment > #7 fix the issue, but could the fixes be pushed to the images at b.f.o too? That's a good question, Kevin. I'll snoop around. The following email was sent to admin: [snip] F13 kernels booted on some specific systems whose network hardware was initialized with PXE have been failing to load the e1000e driver properly. This was noted here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs#pxeboot-e1000e and kernel updates were provided that allowed the systems to PXE boot and install properly. Can these kernels be pushed to boot.fedoraproject.org too? For more info about this bug and the specific request see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580563#c14 [/snip] Well i have the same problem even with the updated kernel the identification is Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe the pci id is 14e4:1692 This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
