Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-07-13 08:17:36 UTC
Description of problem:
  Anaconda has actually two observed problems:
  1.  Won't configure interface if IPV6 is diabled
  2.  Won't continue with install even when the log (vt3) show a
      successful DHCP configuration.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.0.56-1


How reproducible:
  every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. burn boot.iso of 2006-07-12 rawhide
2. boot with boot.iso
3. attempt network based install
  
Actual results:
  Anaconda goes through all the steps to get a NFS or HTTP install started,
  but fails to continue beyond the NIC initialization (DHCP) even when
  the information on VT3 shows that the DHCP call was successfull.


Expected results:


Additional info:

work1: Celeron (Coppermine) @ 600 MHz      256 MiB RAM
       RTL-8132 NIC on mobo                VIA Chipset
       etc....

Comment 1 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-07-13 10:35:16 UTC
I got the install to proceed by doing a static ip first and then the DHCP
configure was successful.

I also notice during the install that virtual switching has been broken.  I
cannot switch to VT3 or VT4 once VT7 X server comes up in order to examine the
logs/info.

Comment 2 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-07-13 10:56:41 UTC
Additionally, I note that I had to use HTTP because NFS was denied by either
SELinux or a firewall setting on the work1 machine.

I can't be sure becase I couldn't examine the VT3 or VT4 screens.

Comment 3 David Cantrell 2006-07-13 18:47:03 UTC
This was a problem with libdhcp and has been fixed as of libdhcp-1.8 (as well as
some changes to anaconda's loader).  Fixed in rawhide, will appear once we build
a new anaconda package.
