RH Fedora network interfaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This issue appears to be affecting both RH9 and Fedora Core 1 on one server I am
working on and hopefully the fix is the same for both versions, hence I'm asking
here on a RH list.

RH 7.3 was running fine on this particular server, Supermicro 6011D with dual
10/100 ethernet ports built in.  I just upgraded it to Fedora Core 1 and
everything works perfectly - other than when you do a soft-boot of the server.
It comes up with kudzu during startup, says both network cards have been removed
(they are built into the motherboard), and if you select ignore or do nothing,
it then finds two new network cards.  But even telling it to delete the two
original cards and then setting up the two "new" cards doesn't work - it then
complains that the ethernet ports cannot be found, wrong IRQs, etc.  I've tried
installing RH9 on this machine, with the exact same results.  7.3 works fine out
of the box, but for obvious reasons I don't want to run that old version
anymore.

HOWEVER...  Powering the server down completely and booting up makes Fedora (and
RH9) see the original network ports without problems.  Every time.  Cold-booting
makes RH9 and Fedora see the ports.  Warm-booting makes both RH9 and Fedora go
crazy and not see the ports properly.  I can reproduce this on every single
bootup, whether cold or warm, with the exact same results.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?  I've been pulling my hair
out for 2 days straight.  If a cold boot sees these ethernet ports and
everything works PERFECTLY, why is warm-booting not working with properly
detecting the same ports??
