Description Harald Hoyer 2013-10-15 07:41:24 UTC
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=="?*", ....

Did this fix happen to make it into snapshot 3 or will it be added in a later release?

Comment 16 Michael Chan 2013-10-23 18:21:09 UTC
We are testing to see if this fixes uEFI FCoE boot which doesn't work on RHEL6.5 on Broadcom NICs.

Comment 17 Eddie Wai 2013-10-24 23:17:55 UTC
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:

Comment 18 Jan Stodola 2013-10-25 07:48:10 UTC
Thank you for retesting.

Moving to VERIFIED based on comment 17.

Snapshot 4 fixes this problem for me, as well. This bug may be closed.
