Description jcastran 2016-11-01 14:14:19 UTC
Description of problem:
During the installation of RHEL 7.3 (Beta), the network interface is ens224. All the files created also target this device. Once the system completes installation, and boots, the network device name changes to eno33559296. The interfaces do not come up until the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files are updated with the interface change.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.3

How reproducible:
Customer can reproduce every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using kickstart, install RHEL 7.3 (Beta)
2. After installation, reboot the system


Actual results:
   Network interface name changes to onboard (eno) when it was "ens" during installation. The network files don't target it correctly and networking doesn't come up

Expected results:
   Network interfaces keep the same name they had during installation

Additional info:
   Currently the workaround is to change the name in the ifcfg files during installation with a %post script and "sed" commands.

Can you please try to get versions of systemd used during installation and on the booted system?
