Subject: RE: [Oscar-users] Oscar installation with supermicro X5DPA-GG motherboard
I have asked supermicro if the incompatibility is just a network
card
problem. As I say, the distribution seems to install OK, and the
machines
appear to be fine once installed in all aspects, apart from the
networking.
I have also asked them if their motherboards support Fedora
Core 2 or 3, but
as their site doesn't mention these, so I am guessing they
do not.
PS. I have changed the subject, in case anyone else has this
problem with
this motherboard.
Thanks again for your
help.

So I guess I have to use RedHat 9.0 on these nodes instead.
