RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
A bug in the interface renaming was introduced for dracut versions >= 004-327 and < 004-335.
This bug is not present in RHEL-6.4 dracut versions.
The udev rules /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ifname.rules had:
DRIVERS!="?*", GOTO="ifname_end"
which matched any empty string in the list of drivers for an interface.
Because there are empty strings, the correct rule should only match for positives.
DRIVERS=="?*", ....
We have verified that the original reported bug for iSCSI (Bug 1013158) has been fixed with RHEL6.5ss4.
However, during the course of testing, a new iSCSI+multipath installation regression bug has been uncovered which is unrelated to this biosdevname renaming problem.
A new BZ has been created for that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023225
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
