dhclient adds the address to interface in /sbin/dhclient-script in dhconfig() function. You can add a 'set -x' as a first line in the dhconfig() function. That could help us get more info of what's been wrong.

Comment 2 Diana Chinces 2012-07-20 16:02:34 UTC

We do not have /sbin/dhclient-script . We are in the pre installation environment using a ISO to load the initrd and stage2 images and there we are trying to run dhclient

Found the issue. We needed to call pump as well for the interface

Does that mean that we can close this ticket ?
