[xcat-user] hardeths script failing

[Egan Ford]

That code in mkinstall is only for replacing or adding a NIC to stage2 of
the installer.  If you successfully booted and installed (i.e. packages
installing), then that is not needed.

As for hardeths and CentOS 5.1 I'll have to download and test.  For now take
hardeths out of postscripts.tab and let DHCP configure the adapter.

If you want to troubleshoot this yourself:

1.  Take hardeths out of postscripts.
2.  Install a node.  DHCP will be used for IPs.
3.  Backup modprobe.conf
4.  Type from installed node

OSVER=rh NODE=$(hostname -s) $XCATROOT/install/postscripts/hardeths

Compare modprobe.conf with hardeths created modprobe.conf, also checkout
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*

Make sure it all looks sane, then type service network restart (from the
serial console).
