Description A.J. Werkman 2013-09-14 12:41:52 UTC
Created attachment 797621 [details]
Error screen when dracut stops

Description of problem:
When installing F20 and configuring the NIC from the boot command line, dracut does not allow dual stack configuration

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F20-Alpha RC2

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot kernel with two 'ip=' statements, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.
2. Boot and install Fedora
3. No dual stack configuration is configured.

Actual results:
When omitting the devicename part in the 'ip=' option, dracut only uses the first option. When including the devicename part in the 'ip=' option dracut stops with a fatal error, stating that the 'ip=' can only occure once

Expected results:
Dracut should identify that both 'ip=' options are for a different address class and use both for the NIC configuration.

Still present in 22 Alpha TC6

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:19:50 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Dual-stack is still in TODO.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-08-11 15:31:51 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2021-11-04 17:35:28 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '33'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
