Are you getting your ks.cfg from the network? If so, that's probably why it's prompting twice (we reconfig the network with the information from the ks.cfg) Yes, we are going over http. However, the bootproto statement says "static". I could try adding a --ip and get the IP address from CGI variables and see if it doesn't ask again.. I'll post the result when I have it. Closing due to lack of updates. Feel free to reopen if you have more information to add to this bug report. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: It would be nice to have an append option that would be something like ip=prompt. There is ip=dhcp, which seems to be the default, but no way of turning off the dhcp request when it's looking for network information. This would save time in our organization, as most systems are static IPs. Also, in the current release (RHEL 3, U4), after it fails to find an IP w/ dhcp, it prompts for information. If you enter correct information, and press OK, it will do another dhcp probe, fail, and ask you again for IP information. This time it will work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.1.4.1-1.RHEL.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do an HTTP install of RHEL 3, U4 in a non-DHCP environment 2. Let it probe, then fail. Enter correct IP information 3. Let it probe and fail again, then enter correct IP information, and this time it will continue. Actual Results: It continues the install. Expected Results: The installer should only prompt once for IP information if the DHCP probe fails. Would be even better to be able to optionally disable DHCP probing and simply prompt the user for information. Additional info:
