RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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?
Intel 82599EN SPEC refer to
http://ark.intel.com/products/66004/Intel-82599EN-10-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller
This hardware will be supported in RHEL 6.3, there's already an update bug open
for the driver which includes this hardware. Marking as Duplicate and closing.
