GRE network interfaces now start correctly
A change introduced in the previous release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 introduced a bug which in some cases caused `initscripts` to fail to correctly start Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) network interfaces. This update provides a fix to `initscripts` that ensures GRE interfaces start as expected.

There was chages in scripts for GRE and IPIP interfaces.
Reverting system back to previous network script solves problem.
Thank you!

Is this is the version of initscripts currently failing for you? Later you wrote that reverting changes solved the issue. I just want to be sure which version are we talking about.

What exactly do you mean by upgrade? I assume you mean 'sudo yum upgrade' - am I right?
> 3. reboot
Best regards,

Initscripts with problem:
rpm -qi initscripts
Name : initscripts Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 9.03.58 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 1.el6 Build Date: Срд 18 Янв 2017 16:24:11
Install Date: Чтв 23 Мар 2017 09:36:26 Build Host: x86-041.build.eng.bos.redhat.com
Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: initscripts-9.03.58-1.el6.src.rpm
I just copied network script from previous version to solve problem.
By upgrade I mean yes, yum upgrade which installs version I mentioned above, with problem in network script.

OK, thank you for the information. We will look into this, but I can't guarantee any time frame at the moment. We are currently engaged in RHEL-7.4 development phase.
Thank you for your understanding.

Almost a month passed since I reported bug.
Still no official fix?

This BZ has been proposed for Z-Stream accelerated fix.
You can track the progress here:

However, I can't provide you with any release dates and so, I hope you understand. :)
