Hi all, sorry to bother you such a thing, but I'm not getting anywhere right now. I've a server with four NICs which are all powered by the e1000 driver. Two are on the Supermicro main board and two are added via an add-on card. It seems that I can only PXE boot from the two on-board NICs while the install kernel sees the on-board only as eth2 and eth3.
The kernel documentation says one should use the ether (or now better) the netdev directive for changing the order of the built-in drivers, but as this guy[1], I have not succeeded so far. For the ether directive not all parameters were mandatory, if they are now for netdev, how can I find all the values? When 'entering the firmware' via CTRL+S I can get the IRQ, the I/O address as well as the memory start address, but I have no idea about the memory_end address. Can someone give me a hint? Cheers Carsten [1] That's the only one I found so far: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/10/213 -- Dr. Carsten Aulbert - Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics Callinstrasse 38, 30167 Hannover, Germany Phone/Fax: +49 511 762-17185 / -17193 http://www.top500.org/system/9234 | http://www.top500.org/connfam/6/list/31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel
