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.

Once merged, please backport the patch at:

https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1581

to support changing the kickstart filename via DHCP.

For the record, using the installer feature from the upstream original of the BZ - bug 1900502 - which is path to kickstart defined via dhcp filename option for "inst.ks" installer boot option requires patch in Anaconda (upstream: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3541).

Hi Pavel,
what is the status of this bug? Anaconda bug 1991516 depends on this one. Could you please move this bug forward?
Thanks

Hello,

I just set too optimistic ITM and forgot to re-evaluate. This is still planned for RHEL 8.8.0.

Created as a PR: https://github.com/redhat-plumbers/dracut-rhel8/pull/20

I used dracut-049-221.git20221214.el8 when pre-verifying anaconda part (bug 1991516) of this problem and I can confirm it fixes the problem.

/tmp/dhclient.enp1s0.dhcpopts and /tmp/net.enp1s0.dhcpopts contain the expected "filename" option:

pre-pivot:/# cat /tmp/dhclient.enp1s0.dhcpopts
new_next_server=192.168.100.1
filename=/custom_kickstart/ks.cfg
pre-pivot:/#
