Installation issues / Internal ethernet port on dedicated core not working as expected
« on: October 31, 2008, 09:56:44 pm »
I've finally taken the plunge to go for a dedicated core. I set it up with the 64-bit DVD on an Intel machine as a hybrid so it is easier to debug. Later on I will switch off the MD functions. Seemed to work fine. Until I wanted to hook it up to the rest of the network. I have an NVIDIA chipset on my mainboard with an integrated ethernet controller. I added an additional pci card for the second ethernet port. The added interface is 100Mb so I connected this to my router and internet. This works fine. The integrated ethernet port is 1Gb and should interface to the rest of my network.
When I go into KDE and have look at the ethX ports I see the eth0 ports as expected. Instead of an eth1 port I saw at first an eth2 port, which was disabled. I could enable it and send traffic over it. Offcourse there were no DHCP services as de DHCPD expected to work with the eth1 port. The funny thing is I can configure everything around this eth2 port and I did, but when I rebooted the eth2 interface was lost in the woods. Instead I had now an eth3 port. At every reboot the number goes up by one.
Does anyone of you an idea were to look for a solution?
Thnx in advance
