I've run into similar problems with the bcm5700 driver. I fixed the problem by over-writing the bcm5700 driver that was in the original SuSE initrd with a driver that I knew worked. Specifically, I had this problem with some of the IBM Opteron 325 eServers. Hope that this helps. Dustin On Tue, 2004-05-18 at 14:22, Mouncef_Belcaid@blm.gov wrote:
Hi everyone,
I have used Autoyast successfully to install SuSE 8.2 Pro on multiple IBM Blade servers. Each one of these servers comes with two Broadcom gigabit cards, I used the bcm5700 module which worked fine during and after the installation. We purchased more of these Blades, which come with the next generation Broadcom cards, they work fine after a manual installation is complete. The problem is during the automated installation. After the installation kernel loads, the card tries to get a DHCP IP from the NFS server (before YAST starts), that's when it hangs. I checked the DHCP server logs and it doesn't seem like the request is even reaching the server. I tried loading 9.0 on one of the Blade servers, and it worked using Autoyast. But I have to stick with SuSE 8.2 for now. Is there an updated version of the SuSE 8.2 Pro loader files (initrd, linux, memtest...)?
Thanks for your time, Mouncef
