Description Jan Stodola 2016-01-26 13:50:32 UTC
Description of problem:
When using a CMS configuration file on s390x with network/disks definitions, dracut fails to download the kickstart file and drops to emergency shell. I can see that the default route is not set:

dracut:/# ip r
ip r 
10.16.104.0/21 dev enccw0.0.0a00  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.16.105.197  
dracut:/#

# download of the kickstart file fails


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 23 / s390x
dracut-043-60.git20150811.fc23

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a CMS config file with network/disk configuration
2. have a CMS parameter file pointing to the CMS config file, use kickstart:

ro ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,!condev
CMSDASD=0191 CMSCONFFILE=fedora.conf
repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/s390x/o
s
_nst.updates=http://sbueno.fedorapeople.org/updates/ldldasd.img
inst.ks=http://sbueno.fedorapeople.org/ks/ldldasd.ks
rd.debug

3. start the installation

Actual results:
KS file not downloaded, no default route is set

Expected results:
KS file successfully downloaded

Additional info:
I wasn't able to reproduce it when all parameters were present in the CMS parameter file (CMS config file not used)

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:12:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'.

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 23 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.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:13:41 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
