Hello,
Thanks for your reply. However during installation of the system i can't do what you describe. I think before installation i'm just going to disable all but 1 network card in the bios, do the installation using the working interface and afterward re-enab le all cards in the bios again. This at least insures me that the card i pick to boot from is recognized by linux as eth0.
BTW, the order of the interfaces depends on the order in which the modules are loaded (assuming you have cards with different drivers) and then on the mac address.
Rgds,
Johan

Hello,
I'm using a http repository with tftp and dhcp. The environment i'm working in has meanly IBM servers, but from different models (x346, x306m, x366, ...). For each model i need to investigate which interface used by pxe maps to which ethX interface in linux. This gets even worse if with a new delivery there is another type of network card in the PCI slot.
How are you handling different hardwaremodels? Is there a way to make sure that the 1st onboard interface also maps to eth0?
This is my pxe-config file :
#default label linux kernel linux-9sp3 append initrd=initrd-9sp3 ramdisk_size=65536 insmod=bcm5700 install=http://192.168.71.1/rp/x86/SLES9SP3 instmode=http bootpwait=10 dhcptimeout=120 usedhcp=1 textmode=1 autoyast=http://192.168.71.1/cf/sltr001/cf
Thanks,
Johan
Mvg - Rgds
