Anyone could give me some advice other than changing cards ?

[Jian Tao]

We have two kinds of Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Cards in out cluster.

Card 1 : EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, Model No. LNE100TX, VERSION 4.1 
Card 2 : EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, Model No. LNE100TX, VERSION 2.0
 
Card 1 works very well and any node with Card 1 can be set up smoothly,

but nodes with Card 2 stop at some point when booting up. 

(I switched cards in different nodes to make sure that the other parts in nodes are good) 

Following is the log file

It seems that the node stoped when it was configuring loopback interface.

Anyone encountered this problem ?

How to deal with it other than changing card ? (:-<)
