Description Bastien Nocera 2006-12-04 11:01:02 UTC
RHEL5 Beta 2

1. Start up an installation in text mode
2. Select "DHCP" for the network settings
3. Select a wrong stage2 location
4. See getting the stage 2 information failing
5. Go back to the Network settings dialogue
6. Disable DHCP and enable manual IP address

The IP address of the network card hasn't changed, and DHCP is still on. The
code in loader2/net.c doesn't seem to have any code to disable the DHCP if it
was ever configured.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2006-12-04 11:30:36 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2006-12-14 18:32:06 UTC
I've tested the last RHEL5 nightly tree (20061214) and this problem seems to
have been corrected post-beta2.  Post beta2, we rebased the DHCP libraries. 
Please test again.

Comment 6 David Cantrell 2007-01-09 19:01:15 UTC
Confirmed this is still present in the RHEL5-Server-20070109.nightly tree.  It
should be fixed.  Setting flag for rhel-5.1.0.

Comment 8 David Cantrell 2007-06-27 19:12:57 UTC
No time to fix this for 5.1, removing devel ack.  If this needs to be addressed
in the future, reopen and flag for a future RHEL release.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2007-06-27 19:21:17 UTC
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.

Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2007-10-16 04:07:42 UTC
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.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 13 Bastien Nocera 2007-11-01 13:40:20 UTC
Jose, what's the status of this ticket?

Comment 14 Chris Lumens 2008-01-18 16:07:08 UTC
Still waiting on the test results from comment #12.

Comment 15 David Cantrell 2008-02-01 00:07:23 UTC
As pointed out in comment #12, the new IP address is added to the interface.  We
never remove the existing IP addresses on a reconfiguration of the interface. 
The following patch does this so if you perform the steps noted in the initial
comment, existing IP addresses will be cleared out and then your new one added
to the interface.
