AW: [suse-autoinstall] SuSE Pro 9.2 tg3 vs bcm5700

14 Feb 2005


      Hi,
...
Close, but has issues in postinstall.
...
SuSE Pro 9.2 uses bcm5700 for install, after the first reboot just 
before my
post install script runs tg3 is loaded somewhere.  The code below 
does not
prevent tg3 from being loaded, but also loads bcm5700, however it is 
tg3
that is being used.
...
Other attempts to alter files in the post install yield the same 
result.
i.e. I must reboot again after post install to get bcm5700.
...
The problem is that I have code in the post install that must use the 
NIC.
Attempts to unload the tg3 and load the bcm5700 in post install hang 
the
system because tg3 is in use for NFS install.
...
I think I need to remove tg3 from the install code.  It is being
autodetected and used after the first reboot before postinstall.
try insmod=bcm5700 at kernel cmdline for install and grub-config (see 
xml below). This works fine for my HPDL560 and SLES9SP1. 
Your network interface are activated at postinstall time? We must bring 
it up manually in our postinstall script, because at configuration step 
autoyast bring network first down, then configure it, then start 
postinstall and after finish all configure steps it boot the server and 
bring network up.

Regards

Andreas

Hi,
...
I am having problems with tg3 and must use bcm5700 with 
SuSE Pro 9.2, 
how do
I tell autoyast not to use tg3 for install or runtime?
you must specify bcm5700 module for the eth0 config. Try the 
following 
example:
For device you can also specify:
 - interface: <device>eth-id-MAC</device>
- module: <device>bus-pci-DEVICE-ID</device>
