A kernel bug?
Comment 4 Dawei Pang 2011-06-07 08:53:56 UTC 
In my attached logs, eth16 and eth17 is the 2 interfaces for NC550SFP.
I use other NIC to continue to install system and collect log, eth16 and eth17 disappeared in the followed installation progress.
Comment 5 Dawei Pang 2011-10-17 05:53:57 UTC 
This issue can not be reproduced in the RHEL5.7GA.
so close this issue
