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.

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.

> Steps to Reproduce:

> 2. upgrade
What exactly do you mean by upgrade? I assume you mean 'sudo yum upgrade' - am I right?
> 3. reboot

Best regards,

David

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

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.
Comment 4 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2017-03-27 12:40:32 UTC 
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?
