My laptop has a BCM5705 ethernet adapter (tg3) and a Prism 2.5 wireless adapter (orinoco_pci). I did a network install of FC1 using PXE, and it worked fine. But the development version network installer isn't working. After selecting the HTTP installation method, it tells me I have multiple network cards -- which is true, though I didn't see this in FC1 -- and asks me to install from either "eth - Unknown vendor|Unknown device 1260:3873" or "eth - Broadcom Corporation|unknown device 14e4:1653". I pick the latter. Then I select DHCP in the following TCP/IP configuration screen, but the OK button just flashes a box on the screen much faster than the refresh rate allows me to see. VC3 says: * waiting for link... * 0 seconds. * pump told us: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device and VC4 says: <7>request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- eth. error = -16 (Going back and picking the other network card gave the same error, though orinoco_pci doesn't seem to be supported anyway.)
What's the date on those images? This *should* be fixed with current versions of rawhide (work for me at least... :)
I still have the same problem with the latest version on download.fedora.redhat.com (images/pxeboot/vmlinuz and images/pxeboot/initrd.img, FTP timestamp 2004-01-21 10:37:00).
Can you try this once the 2004-01-23 tree gets synced down? (Before that, there's lots of weirdness, but I fixed quite a bit today :) If it doesn't work, can you md5sum the boot.iso just to make sure we're talking about the same tree
Still the same problem. I'm not using boot.iso, just vmlinuz and initrd.img from images/pxeboot: fce04a7581629e5833bd81f87dc8ced8 vmlinuz f6d80520cdbc6b83b3e92771b8ef6e7a initrd.img
Was this fixed in test1? (Note that you will want to use selinux=0 if you're pxe booting with a tg3 in test1)
No, it still doesn't work in the current development version (or do you want me to try the actual test1?). The only difference is that the error from VC4 no longer appears. BTW, I got a better glimpse of the dialog it flashes on the screen, and I think it says "Sending request for IP information for eth...". 975b543426e620b514d17dc408790160 vmlinuz 8a03bfcb516bd754268930b01cfd0da5 initrd.img
Does this happen with test2 or later?
With test2 I don't even get a choice of which network card to use. This had the happy side effect of making it work, but I don't know if the bug was fixed. I can't try out development now because the images/ directory is empty. I hope it's coming back soon?
It'll be the tg3 -- we don't support installs over wireless and now that I don't probe cards that we don't have a driver loaded for, things are working exactly as I'd expect :)
