Hi,

we added additional networkcards into the servers, but when doing a ifconfig -a | less the additional cards/ports are not being displayed.

Also the CVM starts and goes into a continous boot loop. the following is being displayed UNLOAD: attempting modprobe remove virtio-pci

Now our question is why are the additional ports not being displayed? Are drivers needed in order for the CVM to boot correctly with the new card installed?

 

Thanks
