Hi, The G5 serie indeed uses the broadcom network card. The BNX2 driver I already build back in.
The G6 serie usually uses the E1000 driver. The strange thing is that I see it in the list of available drivers but it's not being used. Knoppix live cd, debian testing live cd and a rescue system I use, all say that it's an Intel Gigabit card which uses the e1000 driver. With all these live cd's the network card is detected and I can use it. Also Ubuntu 9.04 installer recognizes the network card ( 8.04 & 8.10 don't ) Regards, Richard Pijnenburg -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Alex Samad [mailto:a...@samad.com.au] Verzonden: zondag 16 augustus 2009 8:38 Aan: debian-user@lists.debian.org Onderwerp: Re: HP DL180 G6 with Debian Lenny On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 09:42:56PM +0200, Florian Kulzer wrote: > [ Please try to turn off the HTML part. ] > > On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 15:14:29 +0200, Richard Pijnenburg wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I'm trying to install Debian Lenny on a HP DL180 G6 server. > > > > This server seems to have an Intel network card which needs the > > e1000 driver. > > > > But for some reason it's not recognized because using the > > netinstaller it asks what kind of network card is in the server. This might be a broadcom network card (usually used in HP DL), some time around 2.6.28 ( i think) the firmware got removed from the install this could be your problem not sure if the below install help with that :) > > > > I see that the e1000 driver is in the list but it does nothing with it. > > > > Could it be that the bundled e1000 driver in the netinstaller is to old? > > It would help to know the PCI vendor and device IDs of the network card. > Does the installer let you switch to a terminal with CTRL + ALT + F2 > (or another function key)?
