but Suse does not see the NIC on the newer G6 blades. I do know that
They you should get in touch which HP Support and ask what Linux kernel and which NIC driver is supported for your current firmware. I had a similar issue and my solution was. - Got new driver package for the NIC - Build the nic module and REPLACED the one on the initrd ( which will be used during your network boot ) - A script replaces the nic module on the installed system from the still mounted initrd during installation. Example: <scripts> <chroot-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <chrooted config:type="boolean">false</chrooted> <filename>tasks.after.install</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <location></location> <source><![CDATA[ echo "INFO: task running not in an chroot environment" # Save the configuration cp /etc/install.inf /mnt/var/ # Get all modules which are used from the network initrd # Since we have here normally also fixed drivers like tg3 # mkdir -p /mnt/var/modules # cp /modules/* /mnt/var/modules hwinfo --bios | egrep -iq "Opti 760" if [ $? = 0 ] ; then # Updating e1000e driver linuxkernel=$( uname -a | awk '{ print $3}' ) cp /modules/e1000e.ko /mnt/lib/modules/$linuxkernel/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/. fi Cheers Hajo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
