[K12OSN] DakTech Server Nic Question intel 82541PI

[Joe Augsburger]

I have a new DAK built server; set it up about four weeks ago. Had similar issues where it would hang during installation. Gave up, for the time, on using the seond integrated gigabit NIC and added a pci-slot gigabit NIC, which was detected without a problem and 'cured' the hang I was getting during the installation.

When things settle down and I have more time I'll investigate the issue further. If anyone in the interim finds a way to use the second onboard NIC, hope they'll post to the list.  DAK tech will be very helpful; they've got great support.

I'm curious as to which server you got....some of my older ones did not
particularly like FC4, but I was able to get them working with noapic and
acpi=off at the boot prompt....if you do this on install then it will
stick as part of the boot menu.  Once I did that they worked slick....in
fact, fast than last year!  I bought a new server this year that appears
to be using some different hardware...such as a different SCSI
controller....it simply works all around.  Now the older servers worked
fine with FC2 and 3....so go figure.  If you add an additional NIC....will
that get detected?  I realize it may not be gigabit, but we're just
testing here.
