RHEL5 Beta 2 1. Start up an installation in text mode 2. Select "DHCP" for the network settings 3. Select a wrong stage2 location 4. See getting the stage 2 information failing 5. Go back to the Network settings dialogue 6. Disable DHCP and enable manual IP address The IP address of the network card hasn't changed, and DHCP is still on. The code in loader2/net.c doesn't seem to have any code to disable the DHCP if it was ever configured.

Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.

I've tested the last RHEL5 nightly tree (20061214) and this problem seems to have been corrected post-beta2. Post beta2, we rebased the DHCP libraries. Please test again.
Confirmed this is still present in the RHEL5-Server-20070109.nightly tree. It should be fixed. Setting flag for rhel-5.1.0.
No time to fix this for 5.1, removing devel ack. If this needs to be addressed in the future, reopen and flag for a future RHEL release.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.

Jose, what's the status of this ticket?
Still waiting on the test results from comment #12.
As pointed out in comment #12, the new IP address is added to the interface. We never remove the existing IP addresses on a reconfiguration of the interface. The following patch does this so if you perform the steps noted in the initial comment, existing IP addresses will be cleared out and then your new one added to the interface.
