Fantastic - worked a treat!

Thanks guys!

The cards are listed as eth0 and eth0:1 .

It does sound like that, but 100% that's not the case.

Excellent - I'll give this a try!

Thanks Matt!

I'd have thought the dce would acknowledge all DHCP requests and allocate an address before the request passed through to the external router?

It did seem to work OK like that for a while?

Installation issues / Unable to startup with AV wizard on MD
« on: November 21, 2011, 06:33:09 pm »
I am trying to load an MD, which loaded fine with a monitor attached.

Now it is in situ, and it has an HDMI connection to an LG flatscreen (I can check the model later).

It runs through loading the OS, but when it comes to booting fully the screen goes black, as if there were no output.

I have entered the command from this page <http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/AVWizard_Step_by_Step#Re-run_the_AVWizard_on_a_MD>, and the MD reloads, but never enters the AV wizard. Do I need to amend the MD from the web interface?

Many thanks!

On my hybrid, the NIC listed as the external NIC (and connected to the external router) is taking a DHCP address in the scope listed on the dcerouter.

The address ranges are different (192.168.1.x for the external lan, 192.168.80.x for the internal), the NICs are connected to the correct LANs etc.

Has anyone seen this before? It was working OK, and then this suddenly appeared...

I've swapped the interfaces around, swapped the patch leads around - all to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Installation issues / Re: R8168.ko issues / Diskless MD issues

I tried everything down in the thread, but it simply wouldn't work.

In the end, I decided to put the HDD into the client machine, and did a fresh installation, made the changes for the R8168 driver, and now both are happily talking to each other.

It seems really strange that it wouldn't work the other way around.

Thanks for the advice offered on the thread.

I have 1 additional NIC that isn't working fully (I think it's to do with the eth:0 and eth:01 settings), but the on board NIC, which I am using for the internal network, is a Realtek RTL8111E (M4A88T-M mb).

Edit: The other is branded as RoHS PCIeGLAN, which doesnt throw up a lot online.

OK, tonight I've tried to create a USB drive with GRUB and the correct details, copied from http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/GRUB_PXE , but I'm having no luck!

Incidentally, my Windows laptop wont boot from the USB key, although it seems to have all of the correct files on it.

Am I best to source a new motherboard, without a Realtek NIC? I'm going grey because of this!

Hi Matt,

I've done all of that again, triple checked all the files are correct, r8168 was in the modules file (shoudl it be r8168.ko maybe). I've ran depmode - a and then modprobe, but it's still failing after about 90 seconds of the boot process.

The actual NIC is an RTL8139, which Foxconn (manufacturer of the motherboard) have given me a link to the r8168-8.025.tar.bz2 download - the one I've installed.

I'm wondering if it would be easier to have this running with a HDD and kubuntu installed... Would I be right?

Hi, sorry for the delay - I had a short break away from London.

I did run what you suggested. Everything ran OK, but again I have a line telling me 'etho: link down' on the MD after it has loaded some things from the core.

I've created the MD as a diskless MD in the web admin page, but when I look in /usr/pluto/ there is no folder called diskless?

I've rebooted and the MD is definitely there, and set up as diskless. It has the device number of #34, but still does not show in dolphin.  ???

So, it does seem that I need to r8169/8111 driver for this card, however I can see in the verbose during the tftpboot that there's mention of the rtl8139 driver.

The rtl8139 is for 10/100 only, and this is definately a gigabit NIC.

How would I go about forcing the 8169/8111 driver onto the MD during boot?
