Description of Problem: The onboard NIC (Intel 82562) on this Tyan S2099-based system is not recognised during the RH73 install. Therefore I cannot install the OS via NFS. The device ID (8086:103a (rev. 81)) is not listed in modules/pcitable. Although, I can install the OS via CD and load either the eepro100 or the e100 modules successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat 7.3 installer How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: No option for NFS install Expected Results: NFS install option Additional Information:
Is this an Intel i845 board?
Yes, this is a i845E board. But the particular board I was testing only had the 10/100 onboard (82562), and not the gigabit (82540). And as I mentioned before, the shipped e100 as well as the eepro100 worked on the 82562. But I think the 82540 would present problems, since I didn't see an entry in the drivers/pci/pci.ids table. But I can't confirm this, nor do I have a device ID for the 82540.
Reassigning to kernel component.
I'm running the Tyan S2099 GNN (dual network) board. I checked the output of /sbin/lspci and here are the settings I get and added to my pcitables (the second is the GigE controller that Intel shows as compatible with the 82542, 82543, 82544): 0x8086 0x1039 "eepro100" "Intel Corp.|82562 Integrated Ethernet Controller" 0x8086 0x100e "e1000" "Intel Corp.|82540 Gigabit Ethernet Controller" I have yet to verify whether these entries work with the default RH7.3 drivers.
current errata kernels have a newer driver with more hw support
