Can anyone explain the ethernet probe order anaconda uses? In poking around the code I found mention of sorting the modules alphabetically and loading in that order, but I haven't found that to be true. I would expect PCI bus order, but that hasn't happened either. Take this box as an example. Nics: 00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 00:02.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 00:04.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01) 01:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 05) 01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 05) 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5700 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 03:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) Anaconda ends up inserting modules in this order: * inserted /tmp/e100.ko * inserted /tmp/tg3.ko * inserted /tmp/e1000.ko Which is neither alphabetically or PCI bus order. Any ideas? Phil
