Description

I guess the problem is on initscripts side I've tested this in RHEL 4 (initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1) and the current FC6 devel tree (8.38-1); it works for me with static IPs in both cases. Is there anything else unusual about your config? After some more testing, I was able to reproduce this. This fix will be in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; at this point, it's not likely that it will be backported to previous releases; you can work around it in a variety of ways (setting NOZEROCONF or GATEWAYDEV in the ifcfg files is probably the easiest.) Nothing unusual on my setup - it was a clean install of FC5 on the first time, and a clean install of RHEL4-ES on the second time. I hope that you will do an official initscripts update for RHEL4 which is the current and supported version of RHEL. Can you be more descriptive about the workarounds that you suggest - the exact syntax and to which file, should it be in ifcfg-eth0 or sysconfig/network, etc. Thanks for your testing and comments, Yizhar You could put: NOZEROCONF=<anything> in either /etc/sysconfig/network or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo. Alternatively, you could put: GATEWAYDEV=<the right device name> in /etc/sysconfig/network, or in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<device>. Reopening to consider for RHEL 4 updates - you might want to talk to your support rep as well. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products.
