https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307162 Summary: NIC incorrectly configured at install time Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: laptop@chappell-family.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer At first install when trying to configure the Ethernet cards (3 fitted; one builtin, 2 pci) yast displays the Ethernet nics in the following order: Eth0 – 3com Eth1 - realtek Eth2 – reported as HP onboard device (Intel) The onboard device (eth2) is selected and configured as static IP since this is the connected device. However this fails the connectivity test (curl) – I should mention that this is via a proxy, but the failure is to find a DNS server (which was correctly specified) and once the ethernet device begins working none of the proxy networking parameters require further change. Continuing with the install is otherwise successful. Attached are dmesg.txt, log.tar.gz which contains /var/log and ifconfig.txt which contains the ifconfig output. Following the first successful user login then the nics are listed in the following order whilst shutting down: Eth0 – 3com Eth1 – HP onboard device Eth2 – realtek Following a full reboot the nics are now ordered in yast2: Eth0 – 3com Eth1 – HP onboard device Eth2 – realtek Delete middle ethernet device (which was reported as HP) and it then reappeared as Realtek. HP device has moved down the list. Use yast to configure correctly – static IP, mask, default gateway[remembered this], DNS[had lost this]. Still no ethernet access. Shutdown & restart. Networking works ok this time. Captured dmesg_working.txt and ifconfig_working.txt files. -- 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.
