Description of problem: I've tried doing a netinstall on a SuperMicro box that uses the Intel 82575EB chipset for the integrated NICs. The network does not work, either when I try DHCP or manually specifying static network information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.2 How reproducible: Try to perform a netinstall using an NIC that has the above Intel chipset. In my case it was this box: http://supermicro.com/products/system/4U/7045/SYS-7045A-WT.cfm. Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: DHCP doesn't work and manually specifying network information in the installer results in a hanging install. Expected results: Network should work. Additional info: I have solved the problem by using an updated version of the igb driver. Here's a link to the discussion that eventually resulted in the solution (and a description of the solution is there as well): http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=65509&topic_id=17988&forum=37
Stefan, This should have been fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 released this past week. - James
