Description of problem: During installation, I specified a static ip for eth0. When I rebooted, the system tried to use dhcp to get an ip address. A quick look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts showed that ifcfg-eth0 had been rewritten to use dhcp and the static info had been moved to ifcfg-eth0.bak Moving the ifcfg-eth0.bak to ifcfg-eth0 solves the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F7-t3 How reproducible: I tried it twice. Probably always happens. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F7-t3 and specify static ip for eth0 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I'm not sure this is anaconda's problem. Perform the installation again. When it completes and says congratulations and the button in the lower right corner is Reboot, press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch over to the 2nd virtual console. Check the ifcfg scripts: cd /mnt/sysimage/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ls ifcfg-* Check the contents of those scripts. If they contain your settings entered during the installation process, that means they were written correctly. Reboot, check the scripts again. If they have changed, then something during initial boot has rewritten the scripts. I'm seeing this on a number of other systems too.
I did as you suggested and the ifcfg-eth0 has NOT been overwritten before the boot. During the boot, I see a line saying that it is bringing up eth0 followed by a line saying that it is trying to get the ip for eth0, so the dhcpcd is being run for some reason at that point.
The /etc/init.d/network script is doing this and I don't know why. Reassigning to initscripts component.
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.

Reassigning to anaconda. anaconda is no longer writing HWADDR= lines in the ifcfg files - this is causing problems when interfaces are added, removed, or loaded in a different order.
