Thus the onboard cards become eth2 and eth3 instead of eth0 and eth1. That can be overcome by specifying ksdevice=eth2. However I don’t want to do that because that would break the install for the HP hardware which is specified as ksdevice=eth0.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I thought specifying ksdevice=eth0 would not be a problem because when the server boots it would pxe boot via the onboard card where the pxe boot entry would tell it: ksdevice=eth0 which would then cause it to do the rest via eth0 which is the added pci card. This works and it downloads the kickstart file but it fails when trying to partition the server. I get the following error:<o:p></o:p> Volume group defined without any physical volumes. Either specify physical volumes or use --useexisting.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I find it really bizarre because why would ksdevice=eth0 vs ksdevice=eth2 cause a partition failure?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
