Hi, I am trying to install centos on the intel D945GCLF board. It's a mini-ITX board with the atom processor and it uses the Realtek RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the on-board LAN card it installs and runs OK, but when I enable it, I get kernel panic at boot. The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with the latest kernel) or with Ubuntu server. My question is: is there some way to run centos on this board (test kernel, i can try for example)?
I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly. You can make sure if the board is certified at hardware.redhat.com. I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live CD and the dmesg tool as well. Good luck!

I know that disabling the LAN in BIOS works. The problem is that I need the on-board card, since I am trying to build a home router and I need 2 LAN cards for that. And the board has only one PCI slot. ABBAS KHAN wrote:> I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset.

I tried
yum update and it doesn't work with the newest kernel either. That's
why I'm asking about a test kernel.

I had a similar problem with a similar Intel? MB, it didn't crash at
boot, but randomly crashed at run-time.
With the LAN disabled, I did a yum update and then was able to
re-enable the LAN with a newer kernel.? The system has been stable for
several weeks with the newer kernel.

if your /sbin/lspci output looks like this please try the following :
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor
Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller(rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device d607
add the rpmforge repo (instructions here :
https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using)
then run : yum install dkms-r1000
reboot and hope it works
otherwise just download the intel linux driver from the website and
compile manually against your kernel
I hope to receive mine somewhere next week, will try then again and let
you know

That is the biggest negative with an enterprise distro. They just don't run 100% on the latest hardware all the time. That is why when you buy true server hardware they don't have the newest chipsets and the latest network and video. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
