I spent a few hours last night wondering why my install of CentOS 6.1 kept failing for various network failures which are hard to debug from within Anaconda when I finally ran across this:
http://old.nabble.com/net6501-network-interface-issues-when-installing-Linux-%28CentOS%29-td33037882.html Is there a fix/workaround accessible from Anaconda for this yet? Maybe something I can pass the kernel on boot? I was PXE booting the latest CentOS 6 from a freshly copied mirror and still had the issue. My next step will be to try CentOS 5.7 on it although I would really like 6 since CentOS 5 is already almost 5 years into its supported lifetime. I could put Fedora 16 on if I really had to although this is a firewall which I would like to have a more long-term supported distro on. And that's assuming the problem is fixed in Fedora 16. I may just get a SATA CD ROM drive to plug into the mobo (bummer that USB CD doesn't work) and install it that way. That should work, right? Although I'm not sure how I would make it use the serial console in that case... -- Tracy Reed _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
