August 12, 200916 yr For Those That Have Knowledge: I'm unable to obtain IP Address on this motherboard using onboard lan controllers and/or an Add-In PCI NIC Card (NetGear 10/100 Model FA310TX Rev:-D2) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. TYAN Trinity GC-SL Model S2707 utilizes the following chipsets and NIC controllers: Chipsets: ServerWorks GC-SL CMIC-SL, CIOB-X 2.0, CSB5 National PCI87417 Super I/O Winbond W83782D Hardware Monitor Integrated Lan Controllers One 64-bit PCI-X Gigabit NIC Intel 82545EM 10/100/1000 Ethernet Chip Operating at 100/66MHz bus One 32-bit PCI Ethernet NIC Intel 82551QM 10/100Mbit Lan Controller ifconfig reports: Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.01 Mask:255.0.0.0 Up Loopback Running MTU:16436 Meteric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frames:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frames:0 collissions:0 txqueue:0 RX: bytes:550 (560.0 B) TX bytes:550 (560.0 B) lsmod reports Module Size Used by md_mod 52452 0 e1000 102212 0 e100 27480 0 Thanks in Advance Calvin
August 12, 200916 yr Author Additional Info: At BOOT the Following is reported Going multiuser... Updating shared library links: /sbin/ldconfig & Starting sysklogd daemons" /user/sbin/syslogd -m0 /usr/sbin/klogd -c 3 -x Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger --retry-failed /etc/rc.inet1.conf: line 18: /boot/config/network.cfg: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d.rc.intel1.conf: Line 19: /var/tmp/network.cfg: No such file or directory but I confirmed the network.cfg is on the USB drive and DHCP=YES
August 12, 200916 yr How did you confirm the file is on the flash drive? Did you set the volume label on the flash drive to UNRAID ? (exactly 6 upper-case characters) If you did not set the volume label, it cannot be mounted at /boot because it uses the volume label to figure out the correct device to mount at /boot If it cannot be mounted, the file /boot/config/network.cfg will not exist. If the file does not exist, the network connection will not be initialized. Joe L.
August 13, 200916 yr Author USB Flash Drive Volume is set to UNRAID Confirmed network.cfg Opened CONFIG folder viewed the network.cfg in notepad. File has the following entries: # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY= Tested Tyan Motherboard NIC using Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, NIC(s) work fine.
August 13, 200916 yr Author Further Note: Used UNRAID Flash Drive to boot another computer and it worked fine. Load NIC and returned a DHCP IP Address. Maybe this TYAN motherboard is just not compatilable with UNRAID?
August 13, 200916 yr Maybe this TYAN motherboard is just not compatilable with UNRAID? I had an MSI board that would not load the E1000 driver. I had to change some boot time parameters to adjust how it was handled. Actually when I looked at the console or syslog, I saw it load the E1000 driver, but it failed for some reason. I think I used nopaic or irqpoll and it worked. Example in syslinux.cfg (just an example). append initrd=bzroot rootdelay=10 acpi=off nolapic noapic irqpoll Here are other options. * nolapic o may be required to get some motherboards to work * noapic o may be required to get some motherboards to work o may be required for boards based on the nForce 5 or higher chipsets, until unRAID v4.4 final * acpi=off o may be required to get some motherboards to work * acpi=force o may be required to get some motherboards to work (Asus P4SDX may need this) * irqpoll o wastes cpu cycles, but is sometimes needed for some motherboards * pci=routeirq o may be required to get some motherboards to work * pci=noacpi o may be required to get some motherboards to work * pci=nomsi o may be required to get some motherboards to work * swncq=0 o only if needed, for boards based on the nForce 5 or higher chipsets, and possibly only for unRAID v4.4-beta2
August 23, 200916 yr If still unsuccessful, could you provide a syslog (instructions on the Troubleshooting page linked in my sig)? It sounds like it wants to use e1000, so it may be something simple.
