when using the network-manager dracut module, the generated initrd no longer contains iproute2. Lacking such a fundamental tool may be inconvenient for debugging.

The network-manager module itself doesn't need it, but it should be possible (at least as opt-in) to include iproute2 in initrd.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2019-12-17 10:52:11 UTC

Yup, lack of /usr/sbin/ip in the initrd makes debugging of network setup related issues painful. And network installation the primary installation method used on s390x.

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2020-01-06 16:55:42 UTC

For the reference, see also bug 1769825 where we are going to use ip tool (at least for now) to learn IP address for generated kickstart file name.
