I noticed that it does list the device as detected but fails to do DHCP
for some reason and drops to shell. These are the detection lines:
Looking for PCI devices of class 0x020000 (mask 0xFFFF00)
00:19.0 0200: 8086:10de (rev 02)
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10de (rev 02)
Then it looks for pcmcia devices, of which there are none.
Then it tries DHCP and I get...
*** eth0 not found
*** eth1 not found
*** eth2 not found
Failed to obtain DHCP lease.
Hope this helps... help me.
Thanks,
Steve

Subject: [Unattended] Dell Optiplex 960 boot problem
After net-booting with pxelinux and during the ./etc/master script
execution, there is an issue with detecting Ethernet adapters on a new
Dell OptiPlex 960 model. I haven't built these guys with unattended
before. Is it possible that the kernel doesn't have the drivers for the
updated Ethernet?
I'm using the latest release I could find, 4.8RC5 found at
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/ and am using the pxelinux
files from it. If I understand things correctly (not much of a linux
guru), the initrd file is the linux image that gets booted with pxe. Is
that image custom tailored for unattended? What are my options, can I
use another more up to date distro in its place?
Anyway, I'd like to update my environment to allow the deployment of
these new machines so any help would be appreciated. They seem to use
the Intel 825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network Device.
