RH 2.1 AS on IBM HS20 Blade

[McMahon, Peter (VIC)]

Cheers,
We are running an old version of 'Oracle Financial Analyser' which only
works on RH 2.1! (or windows)

Believe it or not, after I was forced  to give up on RH, and request the
windows install, I got it working....doing a simple rmmod/insmod to remove
old drivers and load new module for n/w did not work...but updated
/etc/modules.conf and reboot....and we are on the n/w......

I had a similar driver issue with RHEL 5 with an Adaptec raid controller. It
was resolved By selecting "linux noprobe" during the install and manually
selecting the correct drivers.
However, this did cause a problem with the network interestingly. To resolve
that I downloaded The latest kernel from kernel.org, and recompiled it with
all requisite drivers for the hardware In question and it fixed my issues.

Any reason why you're going with 2.1, and not a later version?

Regards,
Geoff.

Hi all

Wonder if any one can help. We have tried to get RH21. AS installed on an
IBM  HS20 Blade - in installs but we can't get the network to work.

We have tried various combinations of broadcom BCM5700 and tg3 drivers, etc
etc but no joy.

We are installing RH 2.1 AS Update 6 (and even tried to manually load
updates...) but still no joy

Any help much appreciated
