Warning: I upgraded an HP ProLiant DL385 server from CentOS 6 to 6.2 and the network stopped working due to an incompatibility with the 6.2 driver.
If you have a server that uses a Broadcom ethernet controller (tg3 driver) I hope this saves you having to make a Christmas trip to the data center...
- switch007 15y agoThat sucks. Do you not have serial console access to the server?
- srgseg 15y agoI was lucky, the test server I installed this onto was sitting in my house.
- morgajel 15y agoAny chance you have any documentation on it or a bug report in to redhat/cent? details man, details!
- srgseg 15y agoI did a Google search and apparently the bug is fixed in later versions of Fedora, so it's just a temporary situation with RHEL/CentOS I'm assuming. I think the easiest way to check if your server would be affected is to boot from the CentOS 6.2 netinstall CD, and see if it can access the network. If that works fine, everything should be good.
