Hi
My customer has run into what seems to be a general problem regarding the network interface names. They want to create an autoyast-based install of SLES11 on 100+ HP DL380 and DL360 machines, which are all equipped with an extra interface card. However Linux maps the logical interfaces depending on which of the internal or the extra card that answer first during the installation. This mapping can also differ from one OS installation to the next on the same box.
In case that the onboard and addon interface use different modules you can easily set the order by using linuxrc parameters linuxrc.debug=-udev.mods insmod=first-module insmod=second-module The order of these modules will be transferred into INITRD_MODULES, too. Of course this won't help if all network interfaces use the same module cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
