I need to work on a host which has been offline and powered down for some time. I has CentOS-6.9 installed. At some point it had two nics, one on the motherboard (still present and working) and one as an expansion card.

When booted the console displays:

pciehp 0000:00:1c:0:pcie04: Failed to check link status

repeatedly.

How do I tell the host to ignore the missing nic or remove it from the system configuration so that the error is removed.

  • You can just rename or better move into different location configuration file resembling missing NIC; look into:

    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
