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 of problem:
The commandline options that were passed to RHEL 7.x are now failing with RHEL8.0beta
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 8.0beta (public)
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system with the following arguments:
vmlinuz initrd=initrd=initrd.img ks=http://172.25.254.250/ks/foundation.ks repo=http://172.25.254.250/rhel8.0/x86_64/dvd ks.device=bootif gateway=172.25.254.254 dns=172.25.254.250 netmask=255.255.255.0 ip=172.25.254.17 RHT_ENROLLMENT=17
2. Failure declares that System was halted - focus as tweaks are applied to network settings indicate that is the focus.
Actual results:
System halted
Expected results:
System installs using static IP addressing specified with a kickstart file.
Additional info:
For more information, there is a DHCP/PXE server that offers a menu of static IP assignments for installation. The above vmlinuz is showing the result of a choice from that menu.
Could you please provide us installation logs? You can find them in the /tmp/*.log.
If you are not able to get these, could you please provide us console output with journal log?
Argh. I had missed the deprecation....
Just to close it out:
1) Remove ks.device=bootif
2) Drop gateway=, netmask= and consolidate into ip=
ip=172.25.254.3::172.25.254.254:255.255.255.0:foundation3.ilt.example.com::none
(Hint, don't forget "none" at the end)
3) Change dns= to nameserver=
Things are working well now. Thanks for the deprecation pointer....
