RIS & Nforce4 - Can't get ethernet drivers to work

[Guest]

I am working with Asus motherboards that have the Nforce410 chipset and
integrated nvidia ethernet. I cannot get this boards to do a RIS network
install with the integrated ethernet. I get the good old "This operating
system image does not contact the necasary drivers for your network adaptor."
I have tried all the different versions of nvidia ethernet drivers. .I have
also done loads of research on this and I believe the problem is that the
nvidia chipset drivers have to be loads before the ethernet due to it being
integrated. Has anyone else ran in to this problem and hopefully been able to
remedy it?

Derek,

I too have had no luck getting these to work either. I did a fair amount of
research online and found many others with the same issue. Sadly, I opted to
simply disable the integrated card during setup, and I used a 3com that was
compatible with the ris boot disk. Then, once everything is loaded via ris, I
remove the card, and reenable the integrated card.
Maybe someone has a better solution, but that is how I ended up solving the
problem.
