The ethernet card in HP DL585 G2 can not be found


The HP DL585 G2 uses an embedded dual-port NC373i(BNX2) ethernet card. When installing Asianux 2.0 sp2 x86_64 & x86 on it with default parameters, the ethernet card can not be found.  The solution is in two parts.  The first is to set some options in the BIOS.  The second is to use the kernel boot parameter "pci=nommconf" when installing OS.
 Follow these steps to change the BIOS settings:
   1. Press the F9 key during power-up to access the RBSU (ROM-Based Setup Utility)
   2. Select Advanced Options
   3. Select the Linux x86_64 HPET Option and change the setting to Enabled
   4. Press the F10 key to exit the RBSU.  The server will restart automatically.
