Hello list, I am trying to get a Red Hat 7.3 based installer to detect and configure an Intel PRO/1000 NIC during install (the e1000.o module). Currently the NIC is not detected during install, but is found by kudzu after the first reboot. Upon extracting module-info, modules.dep, modules.cgz and pcitable from stage2.img i have found that it appears as though support for the NIC is already included. I have drawn this conclusion after finding the following: In modules.cgz: 2.4.18-3BOOT/e1000.o In module-info: e1000 eth "Intel EtherExpress/1000 gigabit" In pcitable: 0x8086 0x1000 "e1000" "Intel Corp.|82542 Gigabit Ethernet Controller" **and six more lines mapping similar device IDs to the e1000 module. I do not understand why the Intel gigabit card is not supported during install. The only thing that I can think of is that the driver packed into modules.cgz does not work properly with the cards that I have tried. But even that sounds a little strange!?! Could anyone please tell me if my assumption about e1000 support already being included in the installer is correct? Could anyone please tell me how I may update the e1000 module in the installer? I have attempted a procedure similar to the one described at http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ibiblio/docs/HOWTO//other-formats/html_single/KickStart-HOWTO.html#s9 with no success. Perhaps I got it worng. Thanks in advance. Regards, Matthew Richards Email: matthew.richards@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
