This is a continuation of bug 401531 to add the --bootproto=query flag to kickstart. The new flag works -- it allows one to manually enter the network configuration -- however, there are some minor issues with it. Stage 1 asks for IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers. In stage 2 there are two problems: 1. The NIC is configured for DHCP by default. One has to click on Edit and you'll see the manually entered IP address and netmask from stage 1, so just click OK and it changes to a static configuration. If you pick manual config in stage 1, it should default to a manual config in stage 2 also. 2. The gateway and DNS servers are NOT carried over from stage 1, so you have to re-enter these. These should be carried over as well. Created attachment 310866 [details]
series of anaconda screenshots
Attached is a series of screenshots showing the problem.
query0.png
stage 1: IPv4 manual configuration is chosen
query1.png
stage 1: manual TCP/IP data is entered including IP address, netmask,
gateway, and name server
query2.png
stage 2: network configuration screen with eth0 configured for DHCP
even though we just did a manual config in stage 1
query3.png
stage 2: click on the Edit button by the network devices and it shows
eth0 with a manual configuration and the IP address and netmask
from stage 1
query4.png
stage 2: click OK on the Edit dialog box and now eth0 is set for a manual
configuration, but the gateway and DNS fields are empty, even
though we just entered this data in stage 1
I did most of the work for this for 5.1, so I'll take it for 5.3 to finish everything up. 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. This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Let's give it a pretty solid test once we start producing the weekly snapshot trees to make sure it behaves just as expected. Thanks for the bug report. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0164.html |
