Description of problem: anaconda ignores static IP information on the command line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda installer 11.3.0.50 How reproducible: Always ( only tried on D830 and D600 laptops so far ) Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from usb device with diskboot.img on it 2. "vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img text ks=http://192.168.0.1/ks.cfg ksdevice=link ip=192.168.0.2 netmask=255.255.255.0 noipv6 3. Actual results: "Sending request for IP information for eth0...", I waited 10 minutes and anaconda did not revert back to the "interactive" screen. Log screen shows eth0 link is up. Expected results: A kickstart install. Additional info: I tried with/without ksdevice=[link|eth0|eth1] Works in FC6 and FC7
I am seeing the same problem but only with x86_64. The i386 version works fine. In addition, the kickstart fails as described above even if I have working DHCP server and use it for installation. Attached is a portion of the syslog from the machine that's running the DHCP server. The first DHCPDISCOVER is from the PXE boot and it works fine. The second and subsequent DHCPDISCOVER (after the tftp messages) are from anaconda. It seems to be stuck in a DHCPDISCOVER loop and never issues DHCPREQUEST, even though the server is replying with DHCPOFFER.
