Re: [CentOS] centos on intel D945GCLF board

Hi,

I use the same board for my backupserver. I just added a gigabit Intel card to the board (on the pci bus) and all went well. No more issues with realtek hardware.

Is this the kernel module used for the LAN card driver?

I know of the driver on the Intel page, but I would like a system that works out of the box. So I can update it any time, since this system will be a router and it will be connected to the internet 24/7.

            You can compile it and give it a try as a last resort,
            if everything else fails.
            Could you please tell the version of kernal you're
            using?
            A simple search showed that this LAN card has a lot of
            issues with kernal.

            Thanks.

               I know that disabling the LAN in BIOS works. The
            problem is that I
               need the on-board card, since I am trying to build
            a home router
               and I need 2 LAN cards for that. And the board has
            only one PCI slot.

                   You can make sure if the board is certified at
                   hardware.redhat.com
            <http://hardware.redhat.com>

                   I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live
            CD and the
                   dmesg tool as well.

                   Good luck!

                      Hi,
                      I am trying to install centos on the intel
            D945GCLF board.
                   It's a
                      mini-ITX board with the atom processor and
            it uses the Realtek
                      RTL8102EL LAN chipset. When I disable the
            on-board LAN card it
                      installs  and runs OK, but when I enable it,
            I get kernel
                   panic at
                      boot.
                      The board runs perfectlj with Fedora 9 (with
            the latest
                   kernel) or
                      with Ubuntu server.

                      My question is: is there some way to run
            centos on this board
                      (test kernel, i can try for example)?
