Sven- I went ahead and tried to continue with the neboot64 image, but it appears that this will not work on the Xserve. It only configures one interface (eth0) and it thinks the interface is firewire apparently.
When I do an lsmod, no network driver has been loaded for the gigE ports: ~ # lsmod Module Size Used by scsi_mod 207256 0 eth1394 34064 0 ohci1394 55800 0 ieee1394 428496 2 eth1394,ohci1394 ehci_hcd 54104 0 ohci_hcd 37052 0 usbcore 197140 3 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd lspci lists them as broadcom netXtreme: ~ # lspci | grep Eth 0001:07:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) 0001:07:04.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) But on another system (non Xserve) where I have the same controllers, they use the 'tg3' driver. However, I don't see any tigon driver in the modules listing: ~ # ls /lib/modules/2*/kernel/drivers/net 3c59x.ko e1000 ns83820.ko sungem_phy.ko 8139cp.ko eepro100.ko pcmcia sunhme.ko 8139too.ko epic100.ko pcnet32.ko tokenring 8390.ko fealnx.ko r8169.ko tulip appletalk hamachi.ko s2io.ko typhoon.ko arcnet ibmveth.ko sis900.ko via-rhine.ko b44.ko ixgb sk98lin wireless defxx.ko mii.ko skfp yellowfin.ko dl2k.ko mv643xx_eth.ko starfire.ko dummy.ko natsemi.ko sundance.ko e100.ko ne2k-pci.ko sungem.ko Is lspci wrong?
