Description James Laska 2011-01-27 21:43:04 UTC 
Created attachment 475693 [details]
anaconda.tgz (/tmp/*log)

Description of problem:

Using a kvm guest with 2 NICs, I see one listed as pci2#1 and the other is eth1.  I have no idea if this is expected or not, but it seems unusual.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * anaconda-15.18-1.fc15
 * biosdevname-0.3.6-1.fc15

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a virt guest using 2 NIC's of the same type
2. Initiate a rawhide install (using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-01-27_Network_Device_Naming_With_Biosdevname)
3. (optional) boot args: ksdevice=pci2#1

Comment 1 Matt Domsch 2011-01-30 06:06:03 UTC 
Yes, this is expected, though we want to have biosdevname _not_ suggest names when running inside a guest.  Narendra is working on a patch to detect such and then return exit(4) with no answer.

Matt ... did you want to track that patch Narendra is working on in this bug, or elsewhere?  Otherwise, since you not this is expected, should we close this as NOTABUG?

Is there some wiki page that can help users identify whether having mixed biosdevname and classic named devices is expected?  I suspect this will be something people will request for Common_F15_Bugs
Comment 3 Matt Domsch 2011-02-15 17:55:34 UTC 
Let's track the patch here.

The feature page should have a list of expected device names.  I know I've added some there in the past.  I'll make sure it's there.

Matt -- Do we have a corresponding BZ for RHEL 6.1? We'll need one. Thanks!

Already in 6.1 tree so not required.
