Hello,
I have the Automated Installer working (I have tested it on couple of
machines). But we have some brand new machines (x86) on which AI gets stuck on
grub with this message.
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (622K lower / 3537792K upper memory)
Network interface not initialized yet.
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]

grub>
Specifically see the message "Network interface not initialized yet". I assume
the AI does not have a driver for this NIC. How would I add the driver for this
in the AI? I don't think there would be any other way to fix it.
Here is the exact NIC info, which I got by PXE booting linux into it.
