Description of problem: After kickstart installation with root file system on iSCSI target and using static IP configuration during the installation, /etc/resolv.conf on installed system doesn't contain any nameserver= option: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager [root@localhost ~]# Nameserver was set during the installation using the nameserver= boot option. The problem is that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is replaced during boot by ifcfg-eth0 generated by dracut initrd. It's caused by rhel-import-state.service and it's considered as an expected behavior (see bug 1163829). Since nameserver= is not present on the kernel command line when booting installed system, dracut's ifcfg-eth0 doesn't contain DNSX=<IP> option, which results in no nameserver set on running system. There is a workaround to manually add "nameserver=<IP>" on the kernel command line when booting the system. A possible solution is to let anaconda add the nameserver= boot option(s) if static IP configuration is used by dracut to mount a network storage device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL-7.2 RHEL-7.3-Alpha (anaconda-21.48.22.81-1.el7) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. prepare an iSCSI target 2. run kickstart installation with rootfs on iSCSI, use static IP configuration on the kernel command line kickstart snippet: iscsiname iqn-2012-12.com.redhat:76765 iscsi --ipaddr=192.168.122.27 --target=iqn.2009-02.com.example:for.all bootloader --location=mbr zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=500 part swap --fstype=swap --recommended part / --grow --size=2048 --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1IET_00010001 3. check /etc/resolv.conf on installed system Actual results: no nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf Expected results: nameserver(s) present in /etc/resolv.conf
