Hi,


Is this RHEL4 GA or an update? I can't find it right now but could  
have sworn one needed at least Update 2 to install on a PE1950. Note  
that on PE1950s (and 2950s) NIC order is reversed up to RHEL4U5 (Gb1 =  
eth1, Gb2 = eth0) unless you do some magic - see list archives for  
details. In any case you should be installing from the latest update  
if nothing else - currently update 6. The NIC driver seems to be tg3  
on older 1950s and bnx2 on newer, could also be that older systems  
originally got installed with tg3.
