That's it!!! This card should be supported by new kernels try "e1000" on live CD. I'm affraid that unattended kernel doesn't support these cards for now. Options is to make a new kernel for it, or using DOS based floppy images instead of Linux - not lovely but it's should work, if you would have DOS boot disk with aproprite driver (NDIS?). By the way, what live Ubuntu have? Does it recognize and set up your ethernet card properly? > 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 02) > 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) > 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) > 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02) > 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB2 > EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) > 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) HD > Audio Controller (rev 02) > 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) PCI > Express Port 1 (rev 02) > 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) PCI > Express Port 2 (rev 02) > 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) > 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) > 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB > UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) > 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) USB2 > EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) > 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev a2) > 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JDO (ICH10DO) LPC Interface > Controller (rev 02) > 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID > Controller (rev 02) > 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) SMBus > Controller (rev 02) > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon > HD 3450 > ubu...@ubuntu:~$ > > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: tovis [mailto:mailer.to...@freemail.hu] > Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 4:36 PM > To: Stephen Kojoukhine > Cc: unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Unattended] Dell Optiplex 960 boot problem > >> I noticed that it does list the device as detected but fails to do > DHCP >> for some reason and drops to shell.
