Can you provide `/sbin/lspci -n` as well?

Bill, do you have any ideas on why this wouldn't be found?
Nope. It's in the pcitable.
I had a previous redhat 8.0 installation on this box. Anaconda detected this but I didn't do an upgrade. I did a full reformat/install. Does it care about the ethernet setup of a previous installation at all?
BTW it worked fine on redhat 8.0
No.
I do not have the exact hardware listed above, but I have similar hardware that uses the same drivers. I am so far unable to replicate this bug. How did you boot the installer (e.g. bootdisk.img, boot.iso, cd), and what installation method did you use (e.g. cd, nfs, ftp, http, hd)? Did you use any driver disks, and if so which ones?
Just the phoebe 3 iso image. Boot from CDROM. I'm sure the media is ok (I've used on a couple of other systems). If you want some diagnosics I can give it another shot (when I boot the CDROM it doesn't list this NIC). BTW in the existing install this NIC is not brought up on boot as I use it for testing purposes (I bring it up manually when I do testing). That's why I asked above if anaconda cares about the config of the existing install.
Is the final Red Hat Linux 9 / the current Severn beta any better?
