Description Jason Vas Dias 2005-09-19 19:48:12 UTC
Description of problem:

As reported by geir.inge, for bug 167543, when trying to use
system-config-netboot's disklessrc script to boot a diskless client, 
the module for the network adapter was not found.

The network adapter had a PCI Class of '0x680' .

There are no PCI IDs with a class of 0x680 in the latest hwdata-0.169-1 .

This device class needs to be added to hwdata .

There needs to be pcitable and modules.pcimap entries for this NForce device:
'
0x10de  0x0057  "forcedeth"
'
Similar to the one already in pcitable:
'
0x10de  0x00d6  "forcedeth"
'

system-config-netboot-0.1.33+ will now search for devices of class 0x680, but
they need to be in hwdata for the modules that handle them to be loaded by
disklessrc. 

The user reported:
"
One problem still remains. The netboot generated initrd failed to detect my
network adapter. I have an onboard ethernet controller provided by the nforce4
chipset. To fix this problem I had to edit the "disklessrc" file adding a new
pci class of 0680:

PCICLASS="0200 0280 0680"

in addition, the line 

0x10de  0x0057  "forcedeth"

had to be added to the file /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.
"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hwdata-0.169-1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Boot up with new NForce motherboard containing ethernet controller device
with class 0x680, PCI ID 0x10de  0x0057
  
Actual results:
module "forcedeth" not loaded for device

Expected results:
module "forcedeth" should be loaded

modules.pcimap/pcitable are no longer used - it's read directly from modules.alias.
