Created attachment 337023 [details] Screenshot Description of problem: Doing a cmdline mode kickstart install stops and prompts for the NIC to use in loader. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.5.0.38 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Initiate cmdline mode kickstart install on a system with *multiple* NICs Actual results: Loader prompts for which NIC to use. Expected results: cmdline mode should never prompt, we should emit a failure message and the user must supply the require NIC information via cmdline or kickstart. Additional info: See screenshot
David - it looks like all we really need here is something like: if (FL_CMDLINE(flags)) { fprinft(stderr, "No way to determine which NIC to use, and cannot ask in cmdline mode. Halting."); exit(1); } in net.c:chooseNetworkInterface, right before the startNewt(). Does that sound about right?

Will be in anaconda-11.5.0.39-1 and later.
