Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Description Bernie Hoefer 2016-04-26 23:17:25 UTC

RHEL7's anaconda boot parameter "asknetwork" is deprecated.  Due to this, those people who have experience installing RHEL5 or RHEL6 guests from remote media on a DHCP-less network are bewildered why a RHEL7 guest fails to install.  (See <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/511263> for the answer.)

A user that has experienced this problem would like to see Chapter 3.3.2 of the _Virtualization Deployment And Administration Guide_ changed to include a warning.  The reader should know that -- unlike RHEL5 & RHEL6 that presented users with a "Configure TCP/IP" window if a network connection is needed for the install media but that connection is not already configured -- the RHEL7 install will just error out.
