I have run into that, but on older chipsets where Red Hat has dropped support, not newer. F'instance, the LMC T-1 card, which has been a part of the kernel code since 2.2.x. It's still in the kernel, but RH has removed necessary other parts to make it go. I still have two of those cards, but they aren't 64 bit, and since they haven't been produced in a decade or so, aren't gonna be anytime soon. I ( yes, ME ) am not gonna run right out and buy all new hardware just because Micro$oft ( and by extension Red Hat, and by further extension CentOS ) says I must. The situation of which you speak, I have run into, maybe once, a board where I had to plug a NIC into a slot to finish the install, and do an update, but after that everything else just worked. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com "I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment." -- Gotama Buddha _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
