That's curious. I've now installed over twelve Dell 760 desktops with RHEL 5.3 Desktop via USB-booted kickstart to an HTTP server and it has worked perfectly every time. My problem turned out to be that the NIC was off in the BIOS. That's obviously not your problem so I wonder what is...?


What does your ethernet controllers report as their pci id? The one I have says:

[kaj...@pxe5 ~]$ /sbin/lspci |grep Ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)
[kaj...@pxe5 ~]$ find /sys/devices -name \*00:19.0\*
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0
[kaj...@pxe5 ~]$ cd /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0
[kaj...@pxe5 0000:00:19.0]$ cat modalias
pci:v00008086d000010DEsv00001028sd0000027Fbc02sc00i00
[kaj...@pxe5 0000:00:19.0]$

That particular string is there in modules.alias on RHEL 5.3 and the e1000e driver seems to have that as well inside itself...
