We have exactly the same problem as Chad Dupuis. RedHat9.0 does
not recognize IntelGigabit ethernet cards (e1000) in our
Supermicro 3.06 Dual Xeon servers unless e1000-5.2.52 driver
is installed. We can install new e1000 driver on the master node
and bring up the network cards but we can not do the same trick with
the computational nodes since OSCAR does not generate an image
that has the correct e1000 driver built-in. As in Chad's case, the
nodes PXE boot, then they get the boot image from TFTP server, and
then try either to get DHCP address or to assign static ip and fail
because there is simply no eth0 or eth1 interface. Exactly the same
happens if we generate a boot disk instead of PXE boot.

Can anybody suggest how to generate a RedHat9.0 boot image with the
correct updated e1000 driver that can be used by OSCAR or how to
force OSCAR to use the correct e1000 driver ?
