We're trying to kickstart SL4.3 on a Sunfire x4140 which appears to have
 inbuilt-NICs which use an Nvidia chipset. The problem is that although
the NIC's ROM manages to boot off the network, once anaconda is started
it fails to see any network devices. I can see in the messages that the
forcedeth kernel module is loaded.

I found a RHEL bug that suggests that the NICs are detected as bridge
devices and not plain ethernet NICs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=156688

We need to use SL 4.3 (due to internal application certifications) so
can anyone suggest a possible workaround for this? Has anyone installed
SL/Centos/RHEL 4.x on this server before?

Thanks
