You need to remaster the livecd to include
support for the Yukon nic.
I found the driver in the kernel to be
buggy and ended up using the driver provided from Marvel.

Subject: [Unattended] linux-boot
Marvel Yukon GbE NIC
Dear list,
I use unattended pretty successfully, booting various types of PC using the
Linux version of the boot-CD on an USB memory key. I really do like the
linux-boot option, because we use assigning ComputerName based on DNS hostname
- an option that unfortunately doesn´t work with dos-boot.
Recently, we got a few new machines, equipped with Intel Desktop Board D915GUX.
There is a NIC on board which identifies as Marvel Yukon GbE.
Unfortunately, the linux boot won´t recognize the NIC. As soon as the boot
process wants to discover a DHCP lease, it says eth0 not found and drops to
shell. I tried several options (use linux boot CD, use PXE-boot (linux
version), use 4.7pre version of linuxboot, various BIOS settings concerning
APM, ACPI), but none of them succeeded.
Since the NIC is being activated using the dos-boot option (undis3c), might I
be right in thinking that this is a linux kernel problem?
Is there any way to update the linux-boot CD to recognize the Marvel Yukon NIC?
Thanks in advance,
Christian
