Do you need _both_ to boot from PXE? If so, why? Don't think so. But that is not the reason to use this. I want to install Fedora dual stack. The command-line is where I supply the NIC data for an unattended installation. Supplying this info in kickstart does not seem to work either, so I have to tell it to anaconda somewhere. From a user experience point of view, it also feels 'silly' to supply IPv4 on the command-line and IPv6 in the UI. Further I can imagine (maybe far fetched) to boot of of a server in IPv4, but having the install tree on IPv6. After all it is dual stack. It can be necessary to provide network config to dracut for example for encrypted systems like here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524727 Per default dracut overwrites the network config in the root if it was configured via boot parameters. I learned from here http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-initramfs/msg03687.html that sudo systemctl mask fedora-import-state.service (or rhel-import-state.service) disables this and the /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-* stays intact. But NetworkManager inherits the connection profile from dracut (not shure from where, could be that it reads /run/initramfs/state/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*) and always activates this particular profile at boot time. Is there any way to give NetworkManager another connection profile name to activate at boot time? Would be a helpful feature enhancement even if dracut would allow dual stack. The only workaround I found was to put this into rc.local nmcli dev disconnect netif0 nmcli con del netif0 nmcli con up static netif0 is the name given via ifname=netif0:macaddress static is the NAME= in the ifcfg-netif0 This is the only way that ipv6 config from ifcfg-netif0 and custom routes from route-netif0 get applied. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 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 Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
Description of problem: It is not possible to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 from the kernel commandline Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using the next grub entry menuentry 'Local Fedora rawhide' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { set root=(hd0,3) echo 'Start Local installatie ...' linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ip=212.115.199.60::212.115.199.57:255.255.255.248:testsys.digifarma.nl::off ip=[2001:1af8:fe00:847f::4]::[2001:1af8:fe00:847f::1]:64:testsys.digifarma.nl::off nameserver=212.115.199.57 inst.stage2=hd:UUID=9cb02c12-71bf-49ef-9a9d-092923e0babd echo 'Initrd laden ...' initrdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img } 2. boot the kernel 3. Error configuring NIC Actual results: NIC is not configured Expected results: NIC should be configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 address Additional info: When using the example, the error is that no device is specified. When puting the devicename in both 'ip=' statements, the error is that a device can only be configured once.
