| Doc Text: |
libdhcp did not allow for some situations where a static network configuration was specified. Specifically, when a configuration without a DHCP server was specified during installation, the network interface was not activated. This would preclude installations through FTP and HTTP. Libdhcp now activates the interface when a static configuration is specified, even when no DHCP server is present so that network-based installations are possible.

Flagging for RHEL-5.2 Created attachment 154683 [details]
libdhcp-1.20-static-iface-config.patch
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. This request will be reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Fixed in libdhcp-1.20-7.el5 and later releases. VERIFIED with anaconda-11.1.2.172-1 / libdhcp-1.20-9.el5 Configured eth0 to use address from the local network and no gateway. Stage2 was loaded successfully, ifconfig showed the correct address on tty2 and the install was able to complete. Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: libdhcp did not allow for some situations where a static network configuration was specified. Specifically, when a configuration without a DHCP server was specified during installation, the network interface was not activated. This would preclude installations through FTP and HTTP. Libdhcp now activates the interface when a static configuration is specified, even when no DHCP server is present so that network-based installations are possible.
