Description Pekka Savola 2001-03-09 14:56:48 UTC

In RC2 ftp kickstart (regular ftp mode is fine), 'alias eth0 driver' is   
not written to /etc/modules.conf.
  
This can be very annoying, and IMO should be fixed if possible.
  
The same kind of bug happened with RHL62 release version, on regular ftp  
installs, so I doubt it's completely new.

Comment 1 Pekka Savola 2001-03-09 15:53:38 UTC

This happens whether or not 'device eth0 driver' is defined in ks.cfg.

Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-03-09 23:28:56 UTC

This defect considered MUST-FIX (show-stopper) for Florence Gold

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-03-15 19:47:13 UTC

Just curious, what kind of network card do you have?   Did you have to load the
driver manually with a driver disk?  Also, was your kickstart install using a
dhcp or static IP network connection?

Comment 4 Pekka Savola 2001-03-15 20:02:49 UTC

3c59x. No driver disk. Static IP.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2001-03-15 21:36:44 UTC

This doesn't happen on the latest internal trees (qa0315.0).  I don't know if
this has been 'fixed' or if it particular to your machine for some reason.  At
any rate, it doesn't happen on our machines here.  Resolving as worksforme.
Please reopen if the problem reappears in the future.

I think this is tied to the bug Erik fixed.
