Modified the ks.cfg script to specify both adapters explicitly: network --interface eth0 --bootproto dhcp network --interface eth1 --bootproto dhcp Syntax may be off, but this is the crux of it. Both interfaces come right up now, curiously the network-scripts are identical from the config that works to the config that doesn't, implying that something else (beyond ifcfg-eth1) needs to be modified to let dhcp on the second interface work... I just tried this and it works fine on my machine. I am using with the latest dhcp client. Have you tried installing the version on rawhide? I'm sorry, but what did you try exactly, my initial problem (standard ks.cfg generated by redhat-config-kickstart) or my workaround (manually edit ks.cfg to specify both in my ammendment)? I'm curious because this was a very repeatable problem, on two different systems (same kickstart disk, redhat 8.0, psyche); making the change to the ks.cfg file made the problem go away even though there were no differences in the original ifcfg-eth1 and the now working ifcfg-eth1 But I'll leave it closed because I'm happy with my work-around for now and the systems are now in production, so I can no longer test. Adding to blocker bug 185486 and adding IBM group. The last changes to these bugs were mistakenly made. Removing incorrect blocker bug and confidential group. |
Description of problem: Second ethernet interface does not pick up dhcp address when it is brought up. Manually requesting on via dhclient eth1 does work.

This behavior is repeatable on several different machines (The NICs are on a primary net and a dedicated NFS net, so there are many systems with this config, we wish to migrate them to DHCP from the current static IP's) [root@admin18 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes [root@admin18 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 BOTOPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Kickstart a dual NIC system 2.set second NIC to ONBOOT=yes and BOOTPROTO=dhcp 3.Stop & Start network service, or simple ifup eth1 Actual results: eth1 does not recieve IP address, but eth0 does Expected results: Both interfaces should get addresses Additional info: running dhclient eth1 gets the correct IP with no problems.
