2.4.8.1 Important Notes when Installing CentOS Ver. 4.7
This subsection contains important information when installing CentOS Ver. 4.7 Linux
Distribution on the OSN server:
 When installing CentOS, ensure that you type linux irqpoll at the boot: prompt.
 For CentOS to identify the OSN server’s Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces:
1. Obtain the following files from AudioCodes:
♦ Binary compiled CentOS 4.7 driver for Intel e1000e Ethernet controller on
Mediant 800 MSBG (e1000e.ko)
♦ Manual pages (e1000e.7.gz)
2. Copy the files to the /root directory.
3. Remove any old e1000e modules (if any) and install the new module and manual
pages:
a. #>find /lib/modules/2.6.9-78.ELsmp –name e1000e.ko –exec
rm –rf {}\;
b. #>find /lib/modules/2.6.9-78.ELsmp –name e1000e.ko.gz –
exec rm –rf {}\;
c. #>install –D –m 644 /root/e1000e.ko /lib/modules/2.6.9-
78.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko
d. #>/sbin/depmod –a
e. #>echo “alias eth1 e1000e” >> /etc/modprobe.conf
f. #>echo “alias eth2 e1000e” >> /etc/modprobe.conf
g. #>install –D –m 644 /root/e1000e.7.gz
/usr/share/man/man7/e1000e.7.gz
h. #>man –c –P`cat > /dev/null` e1000e
i. #>modprobe e1000e
Note: The character #> depicts the CLI prompt (i.e., this is not part of the
command).
4. Restart networking, by running the following command:
#>service network restart
Note: The character #> depicts the CLI prompt (i.e., this is not part of the
command).
The final result should be as follows:
Eth0 = r8169 (INTERNAL and not in use )
Eth1 = e1000e (GE LAN)
Eth2 = e1000e (GE LAN)
