Created attachment 902269 [details] Incorrect /etc/default/grub Description of problem: After successful install of base system using Fedora-20-x86_64-netinst.iso successive boots fail to bring up iSCSI device from initramfs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20.25.16 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install: Use static IP configuration 2. Install: Add and use iSCSI device for root partition 3. Reboot Actual results: Dracut hangs out and complains on invalid kernel option ip=::::localhost.localdomain:p2p1:none Expected results: Normal boot to multiuser. Additional info: Providing correct static configuration eg. ip=192.168.3.12::192.168.3.1:255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:p2p1:none is enough to end valid Dracut's complaint. However to actually be able to configure NIC and establish iSCSI connection I've also needed to remove another kernel option: ifname=p2p1:08:00:27:5c:ef:d8
Please attach the logs from /tmp/*log as individual text/plain attachments.
We've just fixed the issue in rhel7-branch, I pushed the patch to master branch. I also prepared updates image with the patch for F20, you can check it by adding updates=http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.iscsiipaddrX_f20.img installer boot option. If the problem persists with the updates image, please check if (additinally to using updates image) removing the "ifname=p2p1:08:00:27:5c:ef:d8" kernel option fixes the issue, and attach the logs requested in comment #1. Thank you.
The rhel bug is bug #1103571 for the reference.

I can confirm that installer with updates.iscsiipaddrX_f20.img generates correct value for kernel option "ip=" and boot just fine. As for kernel option "ifname=" goes I can not reproduce the error - both old and updated installer produce the base system which boot fine with and without this option.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
