Bug 674685

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #673238 +++

Description of problem:

After a fresh @minimal install of rawhide, the udev rules file (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules) created by anaconda is incorrect.

Apparently it should have KERNEL=="eth0", instead of KERNEL=="pci2*".  See below for additional details.

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

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot rawhide boot.iso (see for link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-01-27_Network_Device_Naming_With_Biosdevname)
2. At the time of this bug, using an updates.img is required (see test day link above)
3. Perform a @minimal install (which currently does *not* install biosdevname)
4. Complete installation.  Before reboot, manually create a dracut initramfs to work around bug#673192
  
Actual results:

After booting into system ... the system is confused by the name of the iface.  It uses eth0 and pci2#1.

For example ...

# ls /sys/class/net/
eth0  lo
^^^^

# ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pci2#1
                                     ^^^^^^

Expected results:

pci2#1 should be used in all cases


Additional info:

1) Further investigation shows that the package 'biosdevname' is *not* installed
2) Because biosdevname is *not* installed, and because the udev rules (created by anaconda I think) are not correct (so I'm told ... I don't fully understand the rules format) (KERNEL=="pci2#*"), it defaults to eth0.

biosdevname does need to be always installed, and needs to be in Kickstart or minimal configs too.

comps needs to add biosdevname to the minimal group.

Done, but according to upstream, we shouldn't be writing persistent rules for biosdevname-handled interfaces. Patch forthcoming.
