I spent a couple of hours and figured it out. It turns out that sre.py crashes because of a null string for KEY. Adding KEY=" " (not KEY="") to ifcfg-eth1 causes the script to progress normally. In this particular case, RH8 had no problem with a missing KEY, but RH9 must have KEY defined as a string with a space in order to not crash. Hope to see it changed in RH10. Charles Krinke |
