In my post just below, I have defined a set of tests to verify the possible cause of the tg3 problem. It had nothing to do with autoneg, and was fixed in RHEL 4 Update 4. That 32bit installer works correctly.
One last thing to test – rebuild the installer initrd, and replace tg3 module by one built from source (for example, HP’s tg3 drivers from the Proliant Support Pack) for this kernel. I wonder if it will work.
Recently, with the release of a new 8.x version of Dell SrvAdmin tools, the Centos/RHEL5 (and XenServer, by the way) repositories disappeared. It appears that Dell will not support the RHEL5.x brands anymore. The proper solution is to install the last 7 SrvAdmin tools, as can be shown in this site. This solves the problem…
Assume a server has two network interfaces as follows: eth0 : 192.168.0.1/24 eth1 : 192.168.10.1/24 Let’s assume these interfaces reside on the different VLANs. Lets assume they were connected incorrectly, in such a way that eth0 is connected to VLAN 10, which servers 192.168.10.0/24 and eth1 is connected to VLAN 2, which serves 192.168.0.0/24. You…
Due to a major disk crash, I have had to use my ‘other’ computer for VPN connections. It meant that I have had to prepare it for the operation. I attempted to login to aJuniper-based SSL-VPN connection, however, I did get a message saying that my 64bit Java was inadequate. I had a link, as…
When using Ricci as the engine for ‘cman_tool version -r’ command, you will experience timeouts (and practically – you will be unable to use ricci to update the cluster configuration across the nodes) when the ricci user password contains XML-sensitive characters, like <>&, etc. As they say – FYI 🙂 Related posts: RedHat Cluster, and…
Installation of minimal selection of Centos 5 – only base, core and dialup selections, will leave a small-sized system, with the minimum required. This is a good setup to start setting up a firewall, and it lets you add any required package later using ‘yum’. This said, you cannot forward X over SSH at this…
While searching the web for how to perform PCI-Passthrough on XenServers, we mostly get info about previous versions. Since I have just completed setting up PCI-Passthrough on XenServer version 6. 5 (with recent update 8, just to give you some notion of the exact time frame), I am sharing it here. Hardware: Cisco UCS blades,…

It’s sort of a relationship between myself and this Tyan. Same server, changing demands. This time, we’ve had to install on this server RHEL4 32bit. Net-installing RHEL4 Update 3 was impossible. See here, so we’ve installed it from CDs (didn’t have PCI-X
