Hi, I've installed CentOS 5 on a Dell pe1950 with 2 dual port NICS. One of the NIC is an Intel and use the e1000 module. The problem is when the server is rebooted it does no asign the ethx name to the NICs, instead the so assign something like _dev377362... so i dont have networking on the server.
Any ideas what is happening and how to solve it?
Thanks.

Do you have somethink like
alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 e1000 alias eth2 your_other_nic_module_name alias eth3 your_other_nic_module_name
in /etc/modprobe.conf

Please don't top post. I have two PE 1950s running centos5-i386 with these onboard... eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f8000000, IRQ 177, node addr 0015c5f05180 eth1: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f4000000, IRQ 169, node addr 0015c5f05182
Are you _sure_ you have Intel NICs? Perhaps if you sent us the relevant output from dmesg? What kernel are you running?
You could also check with the linux-poweredge folks[1] as they have a number of experts (Dell folks too!) who can help with this specific hardware.
