From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I am trying to develop a kickstart deployment process for the Dell poweredge 650, the IBM x335, and the Hp/Compaq dl360 g3. I have created a Custom bootnet.img that supports the e1000 and bcm5700 NIC's, and if I leave the network switch set to auto negotiate, everything works fine. Unfortunantely, all of the switch port will be locked and therfore I need to be able to lock the media type to 100 / full in the kickstart script. I have tried several variations of the "device" command in the kickstart script without any luck. Here are some of the kickstart commands that I have tried without success - device eth e1000 --opts "Speed=100, Duplex=2" and device eth bcm5700 --opts "speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" None off the kickstart commands I have used work. Thanks Tom Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a bootnet.img to support the e1000 and BCM5700 gig NIC's 2.configure the ks.cfg for a network build. 3. Actual Results: I can tell via the ctl-alt f3 and f3 that the adapter is auto negotiating rather than being locked at the requested media type. Expected Results: hopefully it would have been locked at 100 / full Additional info:
Reassigning to anaconda, seems more appropriate than kernelcfg (which was a GUI tool to configure /etc/modules.conf ages ago). :-) Read ya, Phil
This can be done in newer releases with ethtool opts on the install command line or in the ks.cfg
