Yes, I had the same issue with an Intel GbE NIC and had to update my initrd.img to support it. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Campbell Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 10:02 AM To: Xavier Fustero Cc: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: tftp problem I had the same problem, see: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2003-February/msg00104.ht ml I didn't mention it in the message, but this problem was also with a broadcom (BCM5701), using the tg3 driver. Unfortunately, I never have resolved this. Sorry I can't be of help, but I just thought I'd write to bring attention to this issue. It seems to be a bug. --john On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 12:35, Xavier Fustero wrote: > Thanks Daniel but the device boots from eth1 (that's for sure). > > -Xavi > > Daniel Kidger wrote: > > >Xavi, > > > >try adding > > ksdevice=eth0 > >or equivalent to the kernel options list. > > > >and.. > > > > > >>..... in.tftpd[9095]: tftp: client does not accept options > >> > >> > >this is normal. > > > > > >Yours, > >Daniel. > > > >-------------------------------------------------------------- > >Dr. Dan Kidger, Quadrics Ltd. daniel.kidger@xxxxxxxxxxxx > >One Bridewell St., Bristol, BS1 2AA, UK 0117 915 5505 > >----------------------- www.quadrics.com -------------------- > > > > > > > > > >>-----Original Message----- > >>From: Xavier Fustero [mailto:xavi@xxxxxxxxx] > >>Sent: 23 October 2003 17:08 > >>To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > >>Subject: tftp problem > >> > >> > >>Hi, > >> > >>I am trying to use kickstart on IBM e-servers (blades hs20, > >>type 8678) > >> with GigaEthernet broadcom bcm5700.
