Installation challenges - hardware related

tlazarus
Hi there

I am installing on an IBM eServer 326m which has dual AMD core duo processors, and dual Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit ethernet cards- BCM570x.

The first challenge appears at the very first prompt.  I type "smp" and hit enter, and get the error "

So I continue with a standard installation.

It runs through and detects the hardware, detects the jolly processors, but tells me there are no network cards.

I have bios updated everything possible, turned off PXE boot.  Am I missing something?  [:S]

Cheers
T

    When the hardware detection is over.

    Do ALT + F2 (with ALT + F1 you return to the installer window), then you should bo on a console input (bash). There you can go to the log directory and view the messages log file for errors

    cd /var/log
    cat messages or cat messages | less (press space for next page)

    you can scroll the window with SHIFT + PAGEUP or PAGEDOWN
