    Hi guyz,

    I have a problem that is not allowing me to sleep soundly at nights.

    Keepalived (www.keepalived.org) is software that helps in
    LinuxVitualServers for failovers in a High-Availability environment.
    Installing this package is easy under FC3, just execute the RPM and
    presdo, its done.

    But my research involves installing it on FC1 or below, and thats
    where the nightmare starts. Until now I have pretty much narrowed it
    down to the fact that it is because ethtool (that keepalived depends
    upon) reports wrongly. It reports the link is down, when it is not.

    The following output is from FC1:

    [root@fc1 root]# ethtool eth0
    Settings for eth0:
           Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
           Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                   100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
           Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
           Advertised link modes: Not reported
           Advertised auto-negotiation: No
           Speed: 10Mb/s
           Duplex: Half
           Port: MII
           PHYAD: 0
           Transceiver: internal
           Auto-negotiation: off
           Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
           Link detected: no
    [root@fc1 root]#

    I need a way to fix this problem. Can anyone recommend a simple work
    around, other than upgrading to another FC :) ?

    Thanx
