Description Pascal Terjan 2018-07-01 18:52:15 CEST

When trying to install Mageia on Packet.net c2.medium.x86 which comes with 2 Mellanox 10Gbps adapters the installer failed to find a network adapter both in Mageia 6 and Cauldron.

I ended up installing one of their provided distributions:

# cat /sys/class/net/*/device/uevent 
DRIVER=mlx5_core
PCI_CLASS=20000
PCI_ID=15B3:1015
PCI_SUBSYS_ID=15B3:0016
PCI_SLOT_NAME=0000:01:00.0
MODALIAS=pci:v000015B3d00001015sv000015B3sd00000016bc02sc00i00
DRIVER=mlx5_core
PCI_CLASS=20000
PCI_ID=15B3:1015
PCI_SUBSYS_ID=15B3:0016
PCI_SLOT_NAME=0000:01:00.1
MODALIAS=pci:v000015B3d00001015sv000015B3sd00000016bc02sc00i00

And indeed we don't have MLX5 in our kernel:

[pterjan@mageia kernel]$ grep -r MLX5
PATCHES/configs/i386.config:# CONFIG_MLX5_CORE is not set
PATCHES/configs/x86_64.config:# CONFIG_MLX5_CORE is not set

Oooh, wonder how I missed that one :/

Anyway, fix queued for next mga6 and Cauldron kernel

Cauldron kernel-4.17.3-2.mga7 building

Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2018-07-02 20:55:46 CEST

With the now built/uploaded kernel-4.17.3-2.mga7 and drakx-installer-images-2.51-1.mga7 a cauldron install should work

Comment 4 Pascal Terjan 2018-07-04 17:57:52 CEST

Thanks for the quick update, I tried last night and I can confirm the 2 interfaces are now detected by stage1 and networking is working.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
