Do you have any /var/log/messages when you ifup? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher McCrory Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 1:53 PM To: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Tikanga) discussion mailing-list Subject: [rhelv5-list] RHEL5.2 kernel vs bnx2 failure on PowerEdge R900
Hello... I first sent this to the Dell mailing list with no results... I have a PowerEdge R900 running RHEL 5.x (IIRC, one of the first R900s off the assembly line). Running RH5.1 with a 2.6.18-53.xxx kernel all was good. When updating to RH5.2 with kernel 2.6.18-92.xxx the NICs ( bnx2 ) are not recognized, so the networking never starts successfully. works: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.5.11-rh (June 4, 2007) broken: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.6.9 (December 8, 2007) Has anyone else run into the same problem? Any successes? p.s. My 2950s all work fine with RHEL5.2 -- Christopher McCrory "The guy that keeps the servers running" To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
