...ork cards. While there are a total of 8 ports on each computer, only two (each) are connected as follows: Boot Server eth0 - 10GbE fiber channel (private to the set of computers being managed) (Qlogic) eth4 - 1Gb ethernet (public and out of my sphere of management) (NetExtreme II) Boot Client eth4 - 10GbE fiber channel (same private as above) eth0 - 1Gb ethernet (same public as above) These are both IBM systems. The firmware in the boot client is configured to PXE boot using eth4. DHCPDISCOVERY, OFFER, REQUEST and ACK appear as I expect...

...o problems. I am trying to determine if this is pointing to a hardware or software issue. Some of the Google results suggested using a Centosplus kernel - is this a good idea? The server is a HP DL380 G7 Server with 4 GB RAM (1 DIMM 1333 MHz), one 4-core CPU (2133 MHz), 4 built-in Broadcom "NetExtreme II BCM5709 II Gigabit Ethernet" NICs, and a P410 Smart Array Controller. The P410 and the system BIOS have both been updated to the latest levels to see if that fixes the crashes, with no change. Any idea where I should look next? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Hi, I am running Scientific Linux (RHEL clone) and my networking was working fine. However, my network has seemed to vanish. Xen boots fine, but Xen comes up with no network. Running ''lspci'' shows that both network cards - Broadcom NetExtreme - are shown. However ''lsconfig -a'' shows only the loopback interface. Trying to restart networking complains that there is no eth0 device. Is there a way to fine the Xen boot output (it scrolls by quickly at boot). As far as I can tell dmesg doesn''t see it. If the...

Has anyone experience with WOL under Centos (5.3).? If so, how exactly do you put the machine to sleep, and how exactly do you wake it up remotely? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

I totally agree with Luc Boudreau about this problem. On modern branded server they ALL use Broadcom chipset... I must admit that: a) lot of people are experiencing the problem but can tolerate it or b) someone already experienced this problem and solved it Lets'' approach the problem pragmatically... just start with a survey on the list. ... hope we solve this issue soon.

I installed 64-bit xen 3.1.0 (from xensource.com tarballs) on three new machines today, using a configuration setup that I''ve used successfully many times before. However, I encountered a new problem. These are Dell Poweredge 1950 servers, by the way. >From lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) 08:00.0 Ethernet
