HP DL320 G4 - RHEL4 NIC PXE Boot
We have 8 No's of HP DL 320 G4, used for High performance clustering perpose. We have installed Redhat EL4-U2 Server with OSCAR 4.2 Software and created image for remote boot.
HP nodes are able to boot with PXE by using UNDI driver and picking up ip address from DHCP server and booting with kernel. After i select language and boot image location as NFS, At this point all Nodes are looking for HP NC324i network card drivers (Broadcom Gigabit network). It seems network drivers are missing. As per Broadcom user guide these cards should work with HP UNDI drivers with Linux. How to get network card driver diskette or image? I tried google search to no avail. NIC card vendor id is 14e4 - PCI device ID is 0x1668.

Re: HP DL320 G4 - RHEL4 NIC PXE Boot
Hello all,
I have installed OSCAR 4.2 in one Server and doing PXE boot from the kernel generated by systemimager 3.5.3 package provided by OSCAR 4.2
I have added insmod bcm5700.o in initrd.img file by decompressing it in the location /my_modules/INSMOD_COMMANDS file as per the documents of system imager for adding modules to initrd image.
Now the clients are doing PXE boot and the following error is displayed on the screen and and the scripts is halted and a A shell prompt # is showing.
load my_modules
./INSMOD_COMMANDS: 22: insmod: not found
..
..
etc..
I checked up for insmod file in /sbin and it is there with execute permission. When i tried to manually run the command as follows
#cd sbin
#ismod ( or #./insmod)
file not found
The A shell is showing as file not found even though it is present. Other files are working fine except insmod and modprobe in this directory..
I require to add my network drivers prior to OS installation to do OSCAR client installation.
Any suggestion is highely appreciated
Thanks and regards

Re: HP DL320 G4 - RHEL4 NIC PXE Boot
I don't have any experience with systemimager. But it sounds like you initrd can' find the module. Did you also place the module in the initrd. You might want to try giving a full path to the insmod to the location of the broadcomm drivers.
Also you could use the tg3 drivers.
