[SOLVED] Any way to get Express CD to update ethernet nic?

Postby Xeijin » Tue Dec 28, 2010 8:03 pm

Hi There,

Trying to get Amahi setup. Don't have a USB/SATA DVD/CD Drive at hand so I've tried installing through USB. Finally managed to get Amahi installed on a USB stick by booting the Express CD in my old PC and running the install process on it.

Now when I move the USB Stick to my server (HP Proliant Microserver spec here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quic ... ifications) it doesn't seem to work (as in I can't access the HDA) Typing in the HDA's ip address does not let me access it either, I just get a "server not responding" error, I can't ping it either. I think it's because it's configured for the old PC's NICs rather than the server's NIC.

So my question is, how do I get it to recognise the Proliant's NIC and get rid of the old PC's NIC? (In other words how do I "refresh" the hardware config so it gets rid of the old NICs and recognises the current one inside my proliant?)

I have tried running an "/etc/init.d/network restart"

This is what I get:

Code: Select all

Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [ FAILED]
Also something seems to be overriding my settings every time i run "system-config-network" and make changes (and save) after a reboot they never hold.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the USB install guidance for the Express CD? Its located here:

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/USB_Install

We also have a similar method for Fedora 14, located here:

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I was using the guide mentioned.

I managed to solve my problem in a slightly different way. I used a VM to install Amahi to a USB Stick then I transplanted it to my server (without an ODD). However I think Amahi at this point had already set up the NIC according to the VM's, ignoring my server's. The problem was easily solved using the following instructions (source: http://www.rawiriblundell.com/?p=1014):

Code: Select all

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules then edit the following file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Remove the "HWADDRESS" line and make sure "ONBOOT=yes".
Thanks again.
