For the Yukon driver-

The documentation can be found with the driver package that can be downloaded from Marvel.

For remastering the livecd-

Many ways to do it, search the mailing list, I have listed the necessary pages on creating a new livecd before.

 

Good luck, and do not hesitate to ask specific questions if you get stuck!

Hello Chris,

thanks for your reply.
Is there some documentation describing what exactly I have to do? Or could you please explain to me?

Thanks for helping,
Christian

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
