AsteriskNOW / CentOS - Critical problem
Hello,
Just received today a brand new PowerEdge T110 II.
Drives are blank.
I downloaded the latest version of Asterisk NOW (http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/asterisknow) which is "plug and play", or at least it should.
It is built on CentOS, and when I boot from the DVD, everything starts fine until the CentOS installer starts.
Then, immediately, it says there is an error at "line 11" of "kickstar" and that the "device eth0 doesn't exist"
Now not only the ethernet card exists, but it even works, since during the boot I see it acquiring an IP.
And at this point, i do not even have the option to add a driver (in the installation process of CentOS).
Googling around didn't help much, except people saying it's a problem with the PowerEdge BIOS, and that you have to change SOMETHING...
Anyhow, I've tried a few things, and nothing works.
PLEASE HELP.

What controller is installed in this T110 II? It may have one that is Windows only.
Regards,

If you are using CentOS 6, the ethernet devices are no longer known as eth0, eth1, eth2, etc. they are em em1 em2.. etc. You may be able to change some stuff inside the script you're running.. or you could install CentOS 5.
you can verify this by running ifconfig -a

Somewhat related to this, we have problems using pxe with centos 6.0 for dell servers. I think the issue is because the ethernet devices is known as em1, instead of eth0. Is there any work around for this?

For the record, I just downloaded ASTERISK NOW
Which is a "plug and play" CD featuring CentOS 6
I'm guessing Digium (Asterisk) didn't create a script, on a Bootable CD, that invokes something that isn't compatible with CentOS 6
The problem has got to be on the hardware / BIOS side

To rule out the OS/software, try a different OS and see if that it having issues too.
Some options are knoppix or Dell's own OpenManage (linux.dell.com/.../om72-firmware-live).
