At Wed, 14 Mar 2007 it looks like Kovacs, Corey J. composed:
What version of RHEL did you use? I run RHEL4.4 on HP DL series machines which have the same nic and it works just fine. CentOS 4.4 corrosponds to RHEL4.4 so if you tried an earlier release of RHEL then that might explain it. Be aware that the bnx2 driver shipping with RHEL4.4 has a nasty (but rarely seen) bug which took our cluster nodes down every few hours. Something the dlm was doing triggered it.

Thanks Corey, We use the first release of RHEL4 shipped from RedHat. I was wondering if I could add the CentOS-4.4 driver to the pre-existing kickstart engine we are using? Sound plausible? Thanks Corey

Hello Family, I was curious as to how to add a newer nic driver to a pre-exisiting kickstart setup. Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11) With RHEL4 and the new DELL-2950's, it appears that there is no support for the following network card. I ran CentOS-4.4 "live" and got the following info for the nic came up then: ############################# /etc/modprobe.conf ############################# alias eth1 bnx2 alias eth0 bnx2 alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid_sas alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd ############################# [root@localhost ~]# grep bnx2 /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.livecd.c4/modules.dep /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.livecd.c4/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko: ############################ TIA _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
