Created attachment 513460 [details] screenshot of rhel5.7rc2 demonstrating bug Description of problem: During the installation process on the "Networking Device" screen that allows one to select which ethernet card they want to use for an install, several devices appear with no number associated with them -- they are all listed as device 'eth'. Historically, regardless of whether the device is linked, online, healthy, etc, each physical NIC port would receive a number associated with it. Here, this does not appear to be the case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.7s*, rc1 and rc2. No time to report this until now, very sorry! How reproducible: Intermittent but seen on many installs Steps to Reproduce: 1. PXE boot to install process 2. Navigate install process to "Networking Device" screen 3. Observe devices listed as 'eth', no number, correct NIC description. Actual results: Usually the first two entries are listed as 'eth'. Expected results: All eth devices should have a number associated with them. Additional info: This testing is done on an HP DL980 G7 with many PCIe cards installed. Among them: NC375i integrated 4 x 1G LOM NC375T 4 x 1G PCIe card NC365T 4 x 1G PCIe card NC550SFP 2 x 10G PCIe card NC523SFP 2 x 10G PCIe card NC382T 2 x 1G PCIe card NC360T 2 x 1G PCie card. The devices that appear without enumeration are normally the NC375i's integrated LOM ports. But I've also seen (and will provide screenshots showing) this on NC382T PCIe and NC360T and others.
