Description Chris Adams 2021-10-28 18:54:43 UTC 
I set up several network interfaces in a kickstart file, including like this:

network --device=eno3 --mtu=9000 --bootproto=static --ip=10.0.8.5 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --noipv6 --activate

Everything was set except for the MTU - it was not set during install or on the installed system (no MTU= line at all in ifcfg files).
Comment 1 Radek Vykydal 2021-11-02 15:03:10 UTC 
Could you please attach log file /var/log/anaconda/journal.log from the installed system?
Comment 2 Chris Adams 2021-11-03 00:37:54 UTC 
Created attachment 1839465 [details]
anaconda journal.log

One thing I didn't think but could matter - this kickstart sets the network config in a %pre script that's then %included.

Comment 4 Radek Vykydal 2021-11-03 11:50:33 UTC 
Reproduced locally using this kickstart:

%include /tmp/ksinclude
%pre
echo "network --device=ens3 --bootproto=dhcp --mtu=9000" > /tmp/ksinclude
%end

Comment 9 Jan Stodola 2021-11-18 15:16:39 UTC 
Reproduced on RHEL-8.5 using the "network-options-pre" kickstart-test:
*** Failed check: DEFROUTE=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp2s0 or ipv4.never-default=true in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp2s0.nmconnection
*** Failed check: MTU=9000 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp3s0 or ethernet.mtu=9000 in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp3s0.nmconnection

The same test passed on RHEL-8.6.0-20211117.d.3 with anaconda-33.16.6.3-1.el8:
INFO: RESULT:network-options-pre:b3a4cd274619:SUCCESS:test done

Marking as Verified:Tested
Comment 12 Jan Stodola 2021-11-22 09:38:09 UTC 
anaconda-33.16.6.3-1.el8 is included in RHEL-8.6.0-20211121.1, moving to VERIFIED.
