Description Derrien 2007-10-09 15:35:24 UTC
Description of problem:

We are trying an unattended installation of f8test3 (kickstart/NFS) on a Dell
Latitude D600 with two network interfaces : one wired BCM5702X (on which we try
the install), one wireless BCM4306 (disabled in the BIOS)

There are two problems :

We have in our isolinux.cfg something like :

label ks
  menu label ^Kickstart
  kernel vmlinuz
  ipappend 2
  append ksdevice=bootif ks=nfs:xxx:/kickstart/ initrd=initrd.img noipv6

But it doesn't work, we get :

                              Networking Device

You have multiple network devices on this system. Which would
you like to install through ?

eth0 : Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
eth1 : Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet

Second problem :

If we select eth1 it doesn't work and we get in tty3
INFO : eth1 is not a wireless device

If we select eth0 : installation works on the wired interface ?!?

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-10-10 18:47:21 UTC
This is probably due to some of the horkiness around the bcm43xx module in
test3.  That should be fixed up now and I just verified that ksdevice=bootif
does the right thing on a box with multiple nics.
