Created attachment 1326673 [details] unknown keyword in configuration file: IPAPPEND Description of problem: I was testing out full host bootdisk w/ static IP and found that when we boot the host w/ bootdisk, an error appeared on screen as : unknown keyword in configuration file: IPAPPEND its not affecting the overall provisioning but appears while booting the host w/ ISO. here is the preview pf PXELinux template: ======================================= # This file was deployed via 'Kickstart default PXELinux' template TIMEOUT 10 DEFAULT Kickstart default PXELinux LABEL Kickstart default PXELinux KERNEL boot/RedHat-7.4-x86_64-vmlinuz APPEND initrd=boot/RedHat-7.4-x86_64-initrd.img ks=http://SAT_SERVER/unattended/provision?token=0436500f-61a9-4140-81b5-348a75e16c0c network ksdevice=bootif ks.device=bootif BOOTIF=00-52-54-00-85-88-36 kssendmac ks.sendmac inst.ks.sendmac ip=192.168.100.101::192.168.100.1:255.255.255.0:::none nameserver=192.168.100.1 IPAPPEND 2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sat6.3 snap15 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the host w/ static IP full host bootdisk 2. 3. Actual results: on booting the host w/ bootdisk ISO: unknown keyword in configuration file: IPAPPEND Expected results: no error should be there Additional info:
So I took a closer look on this, IPAPPEND is a statement which is not recognized in SYSLINUX older than 5.10. In both RHEL6 and RHEL7 there is SYSLINUX version 4.0x therefore this warning is expected. https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/syslinux/4.05-13.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package I suggest to put this on backlog but there is no work associated, after SYSLINUX is rebased in RHEL this will disappear. Bootdisk does not need the IPAPPEND 2 option at all, we might want to remove it.
Is that tracked upstream? It should be linked or cloned when marked as devel triaged. Also I changed the component, tje template should be updated in bootdisk right?
