Just an update to this that might give someone an idea of whats going on with the network. The error I get when trying to UP any of the 2 interfaces is ifconfig: ioctl 0x8914 failed: No such file or directory As I mentioned before I believe that the network cards in the server are Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708. When I try dmesg I found that it seems to locate the network card ok. I have attached a screenshot with the bnx2 driver section. If anybody needs any more info that might lead to a solution please ask away. Thanks

Hi, I have a spare Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 6 x 2 TB sata drives that I want to try XPEnology on. I ran into a couple of problems. The first problem was that after booting the USB drive with the 10.5 gnoboot image the system froze with the error: 'Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!'. I managed to get passed this error by removing the DVD drive from the server. Now I'm having a problem with the network cards. The NICs are Broadcom NetExtreme II 5708, for which there should be drivers available but I don't seem to get a connection on either of them and they are displayed on boot up as DOWN (eth0 not UP, eth1 not UP) I can post a video of the boot up sequence but I don't know if that would help. I would like to login into the Diskstation to get more info, but I probably haven't read through the forum enough in order to find out the root password. Thanks for any help
