Description of problem: On large (128p systems) with >8 nics snap3 comes up with the interfaces having IPs from DHCP but the network not functioning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): snap2 works snap3 and snap4 (-44) don't. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Just an update. Binary search of patches didn't work because when I build the kernel with my build script the problem doesn't occur, but I confirmed that with the kernels in the snapshots it does. I am now doing an rpmbuild to see if that kernel works and to get a trace to see what the differences are in the build process.
Sigh... Nothing to do with the kernel. The problem is that in snap3 and snap4 /etc/sysconf/network does not get a GATEWAY entry. Not sure if this is related to the number of devices or if there is something else going on. The system where the problems occur has 8 ports with 6 active and 4 connected all to the same subnet: inet addr:128.162.243.161 Bcast:128.162.243.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:128.162.243.162 Bcast:128.162.243.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:128.162.243.163 Bcast:128.162.243.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:128.162.243.164 Bcast:128.162.243.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 The following is probably a decent clue, note that /mnt/sda10 is the root of the snap2 install: [root@billberry1 ~]# diff -r -q /etc/sysconfig/ /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/ Only in /etc/sysconfig/: dhcpd Only in /etc/sysconfig/: dhcrelay Only in /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices: ifcfg-eth0 Only in /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default: hosts Only in /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default: ifcfg-eth0 Only in /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default: network Only in /mnt/sda10/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default: resolv.conf Only in /etc/sysconfig/: spamassassin
Pretty sure notting takes care of all initscripts related stuff.
anaconda writes /etc/sysconfig/network.
