(we prefer RH because we will be delivering the RH > Academy course to students)> Thanks in advance There are known problems with lockups due to network hardware on Dell servers with broadcom network chips. The solution is to upgrade to the latest RH errata kernels, or if you want to stay with the old kernel, change in your /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 tg3 to alias eth0 bcm5700 Note however that the latest errata kernel does not have a bcm5700 driver. Also, there are still a few reports of lockups with the latest errata kernel but the bugs are known and a new unofficial kernel is available from: http://people.redhat.com/jgarzik/tg3/ This information came from the linux-poweredge mailing list. -- Norman Gaywood -- School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Phone: +61 2 6773 2412 Fax: +61 2 6773 3312 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!
