[BlueOnyx:00908] BlueOynx on SunFire X2200m2 Hardware

[don caprio]

I've had various problems loading BlueOynx on my SunFire X2200m2 server.

1) I have two 500GB SATA drives installed. The installer boots and then I
get some
sort of error and the Install complains about not finding an install disk. I
tried a couple times with
the same results. I removed the second disk and then I'm able to get through
the install just fine.

2) The Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server uses 2 Ethernet controllers, the Broadcom
BCM5715C
chip and an on board NVIDIA nForce Professional 3600 chip. eth0/eth1 are the
Broadcom. eth1 is used
for net Mgmt (eLOM and/or IPMI). eth2/eth3  are nVidia gig ports. After I
install all is well.
I run the yum update and then after a reboot I lose eth0. 'ethtool eth0'
reports:

Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device
Cannot get link status: No such device
No data available

/etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias eth2 forcedeth
alias eth3 forcedeth
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias net-pf-10 off

Anybody got any ideas? I can provide more detail if needed.

Thanks.
