Hi,

Has anyone tried RHEL5 with a Sun Ultra-40 workstation?  I just upgraded
one from RHEL4 but now the onboard network interfaces aren't being seen.
The U40 has an nvidia chipset and ethernet, and the forcedeth driver
seemed to work fine with it under RHEL4.

Now, however, even lspci doesn't show any sign of ethernet interfaces.
I'm pretty confident that the hardware didn't suddenly stop working, as
the LAN is still enabled in the BIOS and the link light comes on when I
plug in the ethernet cable.  I'm using the latest BIOS from Sun.

I installed the latest kernel (2.6.18-53.1.4) via thumb drive, but that
seems not to have helped at all.  Nor has a full "yum update", which I
could complete after adding a 3com PCI ethernet card.

There's at least one existing bugzilla (420361) suggesting problems
with nvidia components and RHEL5, but in that case the issue seemed to
be with nv_sata.

Any ideas what to look at next?  I can post whatever logs or other info
might be useful.  I'll open a bug if there doesn't seem to be some
obvious thing I'm missing.

Thanks,
Peter Ruprecht
