Description David Kovalsky 2010-06-24 16:01:19 UTC
I was trying to install 20100622 tree over PXE on Lenovo W510, but it fails, because installer doesn't bring up eth0. 

I get all the way to selecting the installation source, but when I select location I'm stuck, because I have no NIC up.

I can 100% reproduce this on my HW. Same results Client and Server trees.


So I installed via a DVD ISO, and lspci says:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
lsmod shows e1000e module present.

Attaching screenshots from installation.

Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 5 David Cantrell 2010-06-24 17:53:35 UTC
Passing this to NetworkManager so they can look at this one.  Could be anaconda, but I would prefer the NM guys look at this first.

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2010-06-28 18:21:40 UTC
Can you drop to a command prompt and do the following for me?

ls -al /sys/class/net/
ls -al /sys/class/net/eth0

Comment 7 David Kovalsky 2010-07-01 10:53:32 UTC
I'm unable to get to a point (via PXE) where I have shell running. I'll burn an ISO and try again. 

For now, here's the output from a running system I installed from an ISO about a week ago:

Here you go. Taken from booted ISO installed, same as comment #8

Comment 16 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 15:20:43 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 17 John Ronciak 2010-07-15 18:10:17 UTC
This appears to be fixed in snap7.  After seeing this on earlier releases and then trying it with snap7 it can no longer be reproduced.

Comment 18 David Kovalsky 2010-07-19 15:55:00 UTC
Confirmed, work for me with Snapshot 7. Wohoo!

Thanks guys!

Comment 19 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-11 15:23:48 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
