I try to install Mageia 2 beta 3 with the boot-nonfree.iso on my DELL Vostro 430(desktop) with a PXE. The problem is the network card isn't detected during the install. When I try in VirtualBox PXE works fine. The problem is effective in Mageia 1 too. I join some screenshots of the problem.

It was properly detected but it looks like tg3 failed to detect your card. What were the kernel messages after tg3 insertion (see the other terminal). Also please attach output of lspi. (eg the lspci.txt file resulting from running "lspci -nnk>lspci.txt" from any Linux system)

Thomas, he's using boot-nonfree.iso so he has the proper firmware

setting to blocker since it can't be fixed by updates after release

can you try to boot with rdloaddriver=broadcom
Same error with rdloaddriver=broadcom

Can you try to do: modprobe -r tg3 && modprobe broadcom && modprobe tg3 is tg3 usable then ?
Where I suppose do that ? I haven't prompt at this step in any terminal .
according to a discussion on IRC, busybox was removed from boot.iso to make it smaller. [10:26] <pterjan> it is quite easy to generate images with it but I don't have any time currently
Well, I've made it easy to include it in drakx-installer-stage2 (just need to set the debug param to 1). For drakx-installer-images, one would need to rebuild it with DEBUGSTAGE1=1. (we should add a parameter to its spec file that BuildRequires the appropriate packages and "export DEBUGSTAGE1=1"
I'm sorry but i don't know how build the boot.iso. Can anyone do it ? Or send me a detailed procedure ?
what about using the boot-nonfree.iso to take an iso on the hard drive ? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Boot.iso_install#Installation_from_Hard_disk
(In reply to comment #14) > I'm sorry but i don't know how build the boot.iso. > Or send me a detailed procedure ? download http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/drakx-installer-images-1.71-7.mga2.src.rpm then run: export DEBUGSTAGE1=1 rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/drakx-installer-images.spec Once the binary package has been generated, you can extract the boot.iso from. Or just install it and get the boot.iso from /usr/lib64/drakx-installer-images/install/images/boot.iso
Actually, we do miss broadcom and libphy from boot*.iso, so tg3 could not work. I've just added the missing modules to the list and will release new boot images
New isos are available on primary mirror so they should be available soon: x86_64: e49c42c7d2d6e9391786283d16bf8fb3 boot.iso 88a34ad50145f882bb65d113a0c2f6c2 boot-nonfree.iso i586: 7a6a645e348893208488dd55f629b84f boot.iso e9feb4a0ffe683737c488a0d98aa7f1c boot-nonfree.iso please test
I test but it doesn't work. But You progress, I have new message in my prompts I join the new screenshot.
Created attachment 2243 [details] screenshot of the new iso bug
That's exactly the same error as in the beginning. Loic: are you sure you're using latest boot.iso (see above MD5 sum) Thomas: note that we did not miss libphy previously... But we do miss all the other PHY modules... I think we should include all of them
Yes I'm sure, I use the x64 version of boot-nonfree.iso. And for proof the md5sum of the different file I use : dcbbdb7494d69886c0c3e2ab03aa1b13 all.rdz d101c64d6830e7635edd7a053a1d627c vmlinuz
ok, now when broadcom module is actually on the boot*.iso, try to boot with: rdloaddriver=broadcom and if that does not help try: rdloaddriver=broadcom rdloaddriver=tg3
Doesn't work.

tmb, is there anything else we can test or any information we can give ?
Can you try the new boot images that just got built and uploaded: 2a9b736ce1b81c78dc1dc7f97142db42 boot.iso b982e42617b3b947d585afabfbb7f371 boot-nonfree.iso
@stormi: ping for release_critical
unfortunately the hardware is at work and thursday was public holiday, and neither Loïc nor myself were at work today.
hmm, so it can't be tested before normal release time... i guess it'll have to be lowered in priority then...
I don't see iso with b982e42617b3b947d585afabfbb7f371 md5sum. I think this is a new release with ed5472df248b8767e735881876d82c76. But it's still not working.
Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja
