RE: Network Install With Added Driver: RedHat 7.3

Hi,

If you've added the driver information to your floppy and it still isn't
detecting it, I'd suggest watching the output on the consoles during the
boot sequence. In particular the Alt-F3 console will show you which
drivers are being loaded, and if there are any errors. If you don't see
the module for the broadcom driver being loaded (with or without errors),
then there might be something wrong with the pcitable file. If it does but
there are errors, then hopefully one of those will point you in the right
direction. Also, if you see it loading drivers for devices you don't have,
that is a clue.

In your pcitables file, are there any other devices with the same hex
values as your broadcom card? I've had issues before with the installer
picking the wrong one if two devices have the same id.

If you're only planning on using this kickstart on one machine, you can
try and force the device by adding a line like:

device eth bcm5700

to you ks.cfg file. You can also pass in any parameters you need by
appending --opts="..." to the end of that.

When you say you pick it off the list, does it appear on that list once or
twice?

I've found these issues are often quite tedious to resolve. Best of luck
to you in tracking this one down.
