Description of problem: I'm doing a PXE install with a PC that has 2 interfaces (eth0, eth1) connected to 2 separate network (net0, net2), having its own dhcp server (dhcpd0,dhcpd1). PXE install often fails when I want to a PXE install through eth1, which should obtain IP through dhcpd1, but due to algorithm in anaconda it query the IP on first interface found (eth0), thus getting an IP from dhcpd0 instead of dhcpd1. The install process then fail to proceed since its assigned IP could not reach the desired network (net1). NOTE: due to dynamic re-assignment of NIC card during install, the problem sometimes goes away after rebooting the install process several times until the desired interface card is assigned first (eth1 => eth0) thus getting the right IP from desired dhcp server(dhcpd1 => dhcpd0). So the problem doesn't always show up. Desired solution would be to start IP query through dhcp server the interface where PXE download its pxelinux.0 (often indicated on command line, i.e. kickstart device > ksdevice=eth1) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda.x86_64 11.4.0.82-1 How reproducible: Will fail when the desired interface is assigned last (eth1) and query an IP through the wrong dhcp server (dhcpd0 instead of dhcpd1). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare PXE install with 2 interface cards with live network and each having its own separate dhcp server. 2. Try to PXE install through the interface (i.e. eth1) that often assigned last in order by ananconda install program. 3. below is an example of pxelinux config. (pxelinux.cfg/default) label f64r kernel /fed/rel/Fedora/x86_64/os/isolinux/vmlinuz append initrd=/fed/rel/Fedora/x86_64/os/isolinux/initrd.img ksdevice=eth1 ks=http://192.168.3.102/a/ks/f4r3 Actual results: The install process simply stop as soon as it is assigned an IP from the wrong dhcp server (dhcpd0 instead of dhcpd1) Expected results: Additional info:
