We are experiencing random NIC enumeration after we upgraded one of our
clusters to RHEL5. The DELL linux team wrote a whitepaper regarding
this, reverting to 2.4 style enumeration makes the most sense for our
case but the pci=bfsort does not seem to be having an effect, is this
fix implemented on RHEL5 kernels?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] redhat]# dmesg | grep bf
Kernel command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=scsi0:\EFI\redhat\vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5 console=ttyS0
root=LABEL=/1 pci=bfsort ro
PCI: Unknown option `bfsort'
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
It definitely made it to 4u5 kernels based on this kb article :
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_85_10460.shtm
Hardcoding MAC addresses is not an option with these clusters.(100+ nodes)
