For the record, using the installer feature from the upstream original of the BZ - bug 1900502 - which is path to kickstart defined via dhcp filename option for "inst.ks" installer boot option requires patch in Anaconda (upstream: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3541).

Hi Pavel,
what is the status of this bug? Anaconda bug 1991516 depends on this one. Could you please move this bug forward?
Thanks

Hello,

I just set too optimistic ITM and forgot to re-evaluate. This is still planned for RHEL 8.8.0.

I used dracut-049-221.git20221214.el8 when pre-verifying anaconda part (bug 1991516) of this problem and I can confirm it fixes the problem.

/tmp/dhclient.enp1s0.dhcpopts and /tmp/net.enp1s0.dhcpopts contain the expected "filename" option:

pre-pivot:/# cat /tmp/dhclient.enp1s0.dhcpopts
new_next_server=192.168.100.1
filename=/custom_kickstart/ks.cfg
pre-pivot:/#
