Bare Metal Installation

Hello,

I am new to EFA and CentOS. I am trying to do a bare metal install of EFA on a Dell PowerEdge T110. I get the installation going according to the WIKI, using this line appended:

ks=http://efa-project.org/build/3.0.0.9/ks.cfg

The installer recognizes the two NICs in the T110 - I am able to "flash" the NIC lights on/off to identify either one. No matter which NIC I choose, the installer whirls a bit, then errors out with a message that says "eth0" can't be found - even though neither NIC is identified by the installer as "eth0".

Is there a way around this, or is the installer always looking at eth0, regardless? Hardware incompatibility?

Thanks in advance for and help. :(

first, what are the names of your ethernet devices?
