Description of problem: No ixgbe driver in PXE initrd.img in RHEL6.2/RHEL5.4 to support intel 82599EN Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 1. Plug-in intel 82599EN into server. 2. Power on the SUT, press boot from NIC 3. After loaded the initrd.img, there is no device shown, and need add nic driver. Actual results: PXE install RHEL6.2, RHEL5.4, RHEL5.8 with intel 82599EN -->FAIL Expected results: We want to get the initrd.img to add the intel 82599EN driver. Additional info: After we install RHEL5.4 64bit with latest driver ixgbe-3.8.21.tar, the NIC can be OK, but no built-in nic driver for PXE installation. Would you mind creating a initrd.img (add intel 82599EN driver under RHEL5.4, RHEL6.2, RHEL5.8) for us?
