This is a Dell R710 with four Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet ports (2x dual port NICs). They should have come out as enp1s0, enp1s0f1, enp2s0, enp2s0f1. However, they *were* seen as em1 em2 em3 em4, hiss, boo! The driver is bnx2. I'm guessing that device name generation happens in the driver, and not all drivers have been updated to the new paradigm. The paravirtual net driver for KVM also calls its device eth0 rather than using the bus structure. I wish I could predict what the device name was going to be, for writing the installer boot stanza, but it looks like it will be hit and miss this year. When I specified the correct netdevice=em1, the machine came right up, with no bitching about the two ports that are unused and have no cables. I was too chicken to omit netdevice entirely. -- 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.
