forcedeth issue

Post by oli013 » 2018/05/11 12:29:37

Hi,

I just update my CentOS 7 with kernel.x86_64 from 3.10.0-693.21.1.el7 to 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7. My network driver kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm doesn't work any more !

Thanks for help,
Olivier

You probably disabled the ELRepo yum repo so you didn't pick up the latest kmod-forcedeth update

Code: Select all

kmod-forcedeth.x86_64                                   0.64-3.el7_5.elrepo                                   elrepo
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Absolutely right, I had in the past manually install kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
Thanks for help !

You should install their elrepo-release package so that you get future updates when they are released.
