[CentOS] centos on intel D945GCLF board
Hi, I am trying to install centos on the intel D945GCLF board. It's a mini-ITX board with the atom processor and it uses the Realtek RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the on-board LAN card it installs and runs OK, but when I enable it, I get kernel panic at boot. The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with the latest kernel) or with Ubuntu server. My question is: is there some way to run centos on this board (test kernel, i can try for example)? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] centos on intel D945GCLF board
I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly. You can make sure if the board is certified at hardware.redhat.com. I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live CD and the dmesg tool as well. Good luck!

Re: [CentOS] centos on intel D945GCLF board
I know that disabling the LAN in BIOS works. The problem is that I need the on-board card, since I am trying to build a home router and I need 2 LAN cards for that. And the board has only one PCI slot. ABBAS KHAN wrote: I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly.

I tried kernel-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.x86_64. I know of the driver on the Intel page, but I would like a system that works out of the box. So I can update it any time, since this system will be a router and it will be connected to the internet 24/7. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/updates/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm ABBAS KHAN wrote: Here is the driver, provided for Intel for the board. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2916DwnldID=16242lang=eng http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2916DwnldID=16242lang=eng You can compile it and give it a try as a last resort, if everything else fails.

Re: [CentOS] centos on intel D945GCLF board
Thats what I wanted to know and thats exactly what I saw people complaining about this card's incompatibility with kernel. If you have time to work on the issue, if you want to find out the bottom causes and if compiling the new driver doesn't help; you can boot to Fedora and get the Kernel version and the driver's module number and then switch back to CentOS, try to load the same module (i hope it would be also in CentOS under /lib/modules/) through modprobe and then the same kernel environment, if possible - since you already told that Fedora's drivers work fine for you!

If you have time to work on the issue, if you want to find out the bottom causes and if compiling the new driver doesn't help; you can boot to Fedora and get the Kernel version and the driver's module number and then switch back to CentOS, try to load the same module (i hope it would be also in CentOS under /lib/modules/) through modprobe and then the same kernel environment, if possible - since you already told that Fedora's drivers work fine for you! I hope this helps!

But if i understand correctly, if compiling the driver doesn't work, i can copy the module from a fedora machine and replace the current one?
