Greetings again! I'm trying to use kickstart to automate and remote install my cluster (duh). Once the install process starts up, it loads the ethernet driver module (tg3) and probes DHCP. Well, it initially (correctly) sets the port speed to 100/Full for the DHCP probe, but then it claims "Link down" and comes back as either 100/Half (not too bad) but most of them come back as 10/Half (ouch!). I'm connecting these nodes to a Cisco 3548XL 10/100 switch. The ports are configured "spanning-tree portfast". Also, I've tried with full auto-negotiation, only speed auto, only duplex auto, and forced 100/Full. If I set it to anything other than full auto, the install process never finds the ks.cfg file (network timeout). In full auto, my speed is un-acceptable but it works. a) is this the right list? If not, then where? b) is there a way to specify the module parameters to the installer so that when it loads the module, the correct speed and duplex come up (and stay up). c) is there yet another Cisco port config option that I haven't set correctly (not a CCNA, sorry) d) anyone have some ibuprofen? Thanks in advance, -Tim -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Timothy E.
