thanks for the replies reddazz and joking.
I wanted to use redhat 7.3 because I want to install Sun iPlanet 8.0 which supports redhat 7.2.
I decided to resolve the problem first in an up-to-date Redhat and once I have the answer, consider reinstalling redhat 7.
I have installed Fedora Core 4. Again installation succeeds.

What type of network card do you have?
|
dmesg states:
eth0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter
The only other mention of eth0 in dmesg is:
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
In Gnome Desktop > System Settings > Network Configuration > Devices:
eth0 is listed with status Inactive
When I click Activate the system-config-network dialog appears, and after a short wait reports:
Cannot activate network device eth0!
Determining IP information for eth0... failed
Under the Hardware tab eth0 has the descriptin "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller". If I click Edit, then in the Resource section the IRQ is Unknown and the remaining info MEM, IO, etc. is blank.
Any suggestions?
Edit: a quick search for both the Yukon, Marvell and 88E8001 in the Linux HCL section turns up no entries. (Although I am assuming I have this same card working in Debian sarge on a different machine)
