Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine 2. Network boot 3. iPXE (or PXE) redirection 4. Download kernel and initrd (extracted from opensuse 12.3 DVD) from iPXE (or PXE) server (via tftp) 5. Load kernel and initrd Actual Results: The initrd starts to load driver devices. Once network driver is loaded it tries a DHCP request to get IP and after several seconds the system shows an error due to unreachable repository. After that I've checked network properties, opening a shell, and there is no network. We have several kind of HP machines and this procedure doesn't work properly over machines which has network cards models: Intel 82567LM-3 and 82566DM-2 However this works properly using 12.1 initrd and kernel from openSUSE 12.1 DVD. Expected Results: That procedure should load all needed drivers properly in any kind of (known) machine and then open installation window to let user to install openSUSE 12.3 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
