[OSR-users] Sorting of eth ports inside initrd

[Klaus S. <kla...@Ph...>]

Hi,

we did run into trouble with the new production version of Openshared 
Root. We do have 6 Ethernet ports on our servers, 2 of them with the 
internal ports of the system board (broadcomm, bnx2 module), and 4 
additional ports on a add on PCI Express Card (Intel, e1000e Module).

With the old initrd we got the following ordering:

bnx2 Module:  eth0 and eth1
e1000e Module:  eth2 - eth5

Now with the new initrd, something changed with loading modules inside 
the initrd, and we got them exchanged, so e1000e is first (eth0 - eth3), 
and second bnx2  (eth4, eth5).

Of course that didn't work, as our device assignements did not fit any more.


Before we reorder our eth Ports in the Config, is there any way to 
change this behaviour, and fix the ordering of the module loading?

Sincerly,
Klaus Steinberger
