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.

Fixed In Version: anaconda-33.16.8.3-1.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Using the `filename` DHCP option no longer blocks downloading the `kickstart` file for installation Previously, when building a path for getting the kickstart file from an NFS server, the installer did not consider the `filename` DHCP option. As a consequence, the installer did not download the kickstart file and was blocking the installation process. With this update, the `filename` DHCP option correctly constructs a path to the kickstart file. As a result, the kickstart file is downloaded properly, and the installation process starts correctly.

See the details in the bug 1991449.

This is the Anaconda part of fix, requiring also supporting modifications in

NM: bug 1979387
dracut: bug 1991449

Comment 7 thiebolt 2022-06-08 11:07:35 UTC
Dear Radek,

That's a bit funny to discover that this feature had always been working till CentOS8.2 ... while it is now broken ?!?!?! (tried on RockyLinux 8.5 and 8.6 and probably same issue on latest CentOS / RHEL)

On the other side, it perfectly (re)works since Fedora36 :)
(was boken from FC31 --> FC35)

Bien à vous
François

Comment 13 Jan Stodola 2022-11-15 16:28:58 UTC
BTW, this bug depends on dracut bug 1991449, which is still in POST, so the functionality cannot be completely tested yet.

Comment 17 Jan Stodola 2023-01-02 13:50:06 UTC
Pre-verified with anaconda-33.16.8.3-1.el8 and dracut-049-221.git20221214.el8 from bug 1991449, using the steps from comment 11. The installer used a correct kickstart file provided via the "filename" DHCP option.

Marking as Verified:Tested for this anaconda part. Please note that bug 1991449 needs to be resolved as well to fix the problem.

Comment 22 Radek Vykydal 2023-02-28 10:30:53 UTC
The doc text looks good to me, thank you.
