[finnix] igb network dirver depends on dca module which does not get included by finnix-netboot-server

[Lars Holowko]

Hi everyone,

 

I was trying get netboot work on my hardware and ran into the problem
that the minirt_net created by /usr/sbin/finnix-netboot-server does not
include the dca kernel module on which the ige network driver depends on
- the same seems to be true for ixgbe.

 

modprobe ige complains about irresolvable dependencies for some dca_
functions. 

 

After applying the patch below and re-running
/usr/sbin/finnix-netboot-server, everything seems to work.

May you please include dca in a future release?

 

Thanks,
