Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 249946
Does not get an ip while booting after removing *i386 rpms
Last modified: 2008-04-16 14:20:52 EDT
Hi, I removed all i386-packages from my x86_64 rawhide. This has produced a rather unusual bug. Network-Manager is enabled. When booting the network-manager does not get a ip via dhcp. It boots up with a 169.254.something. Simply clicking the connection causes him to drop the connection and instantly brings it up again. This time with an ip from the dhcp-server. There are no network-related messages in an log-file. This problem showed up on the first reboot after removing the i386-packages. cu romal
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Can you include some output from /var/log/messages that show what NM is doing while trying to bring up the device? Also, what version of NM is installed?
Seems to be fixed. I erased all i386 packages from the system again, but the problem does not appear. Must have been fixed by one of the last updates. Thanks for your time.
