similar to: controlling module load order

I am using centos 5 x86_64 AMD64 X2 4200+. I am current on yum update. My machine has two ethernet cards. e1000 (eth0) and forcedeth (eth1) [root at fsdsigns2 ~]# more /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 forcedeth sometimes on boot the forcedeth driver thinks it is eth0: [root at fsdsigns2 ~]# dmesg | grep eth forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.60.

What is happening in centos 5 with network config files??? I have a machine with 2 network cards. ifcfg-eth1 keeps changing to DHCP. All my static setup is gone. Why is it doing this? How can I stop it? I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP. I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

centos 5 had modprobe.conf entries for eth0 and if present eth1. something like: alias eth0 forcedeth alias eth1 e1000e For the new centos 6 (I have the rhel 6 client installed on my laptop) the modprobe.conf file is gone. Which is fine. I understand files can be created in /etc/modprobe.d and server the same purpose. My question is I dont see (doing a grep) any eth0 alias's in the files in

I download the RHEL 6b2 and noticed the modprobe.conf was no longer present. I used modprobe.conf to place "options" for ethernet drivers like which order to install the drivers. e1000e before forcedeth - things like that. Anyway - seems like that file is no longer present. what is the "future" way to handle driver options? Thanks Jerry

Hi, I've installed CentOS 5 on a Dell pe1950 with 2 dual port NICS. One of the NIC is an Intel and use the e1000 module. The problem is when the server is rebooted it does no asign the ethx name to the NICs, instead the so assign something like _dev377362... so i dont have networking on the server. Any ideas what is happening and how to solve it? Thanks. -------------- next part

I have not see this before... Installing centos 5 on m2n-mx motherboard the onboard forcedeth driver loads and says invalid mac address "97:42:40:F3:18:00" Anyone else ever seen this before? Is it fixable? I went to support.asus.com and searched for "invalid mac address" they say sorry no data. Jerry

I am attempting to put 3 network cards in one box, running centos 64 5.4 network cards are forcedeth (motherboard), e1000e and r8169. I have ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 all configured up. All looks fine. eth0 is my internal network (forcedeth) eth1 is Cable modem eth2 is T1 data Once I connect the three networks and try to ping something all I can ping is internal network machines.

When using 4.4 to install on gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2 motherboard basically an Nforce 410/430 chipset then network is not initially detect to perform a network install. It let me attempt to manually select a driver but I do not see the driver in the list. After installing the network works and the forcedeth driver is loaded. Is there a way to get this driver detected or manually loaded? THanks,

I have two servers with identical hardware ... TYAN i3210w system boards with dual intel gigabit interfaces, and a PCI intel gigabit nic. I'm running Centos 5.4, x86_64, 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 Every other time I reboot, the nics initialize in a different order. anaconda had setup /etc/modprobe.conf with alias lines for the cards: alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e1000e alias eth2 e1000e However,

I'm building a Linux box to act as Proxy/Router/Firewall. I'm using CentOS 4.5, with an "old" motherboard (Asus A8V-X), and two Ethernet NIC, based on a realtek chip, that's widely supported under 2.4 and later kernel (the cards were functioning excellent in another PC whit Fedora Core 1). CentOS detects the on board LAN, but not the other two, in fact, knoppix 5.0.1

My test server was in very eavy load, running kolab's components: postfix, cyrus-imap and openldap A second test machine was sending, and reading emails as fast as it can. The CPU was never idle ! I left the server at about 17H30 and at 22H I find it "uncommitted" (difficult to work when the partition in read-only !) However the mount command report it as RW ! The /boot is still RW

Hi I need to store about 250.000.000 files. Files are less than 4k. On a ext4 (fedora 14) the system crawl at 10.000.000 in the same directory. I tried to create hash directories, two level of 4096 dir = 16.000.000 but I had to stop the script to create these dir after hours and "rm -rf" would have taken days ! mkfs was my friend I tried two levels, first of 4096 dir, second of 64

My local centos mirror (ftp.crc.dk) failed to boot after having upgraded from centos 5.0 to 5.1 (i386). It just displays GRUB The cursor is positioned to the right of a space after GRUB, and no input is accepted. I've tried booting in rescue mode and run: chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 This completes without errors, but still it can't boot. It's a HP/Compaq

I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles. Jerry

Hi I am playing with virtualization on centos 5. I have an old redhat 7 system I still need so I want to virtualize it. I found the old disk, installed in the virtual environment but found I had done some additions WAY back. I want to be sure my virtual system is exactly the same as the ACTUAL system. Do I use cpio on the actual system to grab everything and then put that back on the virtual

Hi all, Is there a command line command that controls which virtual X screen a person is viewing? Sure I can click on one of the 4 virtual X screens but can I control that from the command line. Thanks, Jerry

Hello find /etc -size -1G should return all files less than 1Giga byte in /etc, but return a list of empty file (size=0) find /etc -size -2G work fine and return all the files This works the same on my fedora11 and my centos 5 ! Did I miss something or is it a bug ? Regards -- Alain Spineux | aspineux gmail com Your email 100% available |

Hi all, I have a centos 5 box I have setup, current with updates. (I have done this many times on centos 4). I did the yum install tftp-server, changed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file as shown. # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download

All, I am playing with virtualization on centos 5. I took my old redhat 7 disks and created a 10GIG virtual disk, I installed redhat 7. Now I am trying to get the EXACT image copied off of my actual redhat 7 disk so that I know it is the same (including all patches, updates and OTHER things I did to it that I have forgotten about). I booted the redhat 7 image just fine at this point. I also

Hi, I have a dell poweredge 850 with centos 4, freshly installed. I'm now trying to add in a fibre -> sata raid enclosure with LSI HBA's in the 850. My problem is the enclosure gets detected first, hijacking sda and sdb from the internal SATA drive and causing kernel panic at boot time. I've tried changing the order in modprobe to the following: alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1
