Created attachment 340244 [details] add LOCALLADDR= parameter to netconsole configuration Description of problem: In NetworkManager-enabled installations without "network" service, where network is brought up with a Desktop session there's no way to have netconsole started at boot time since the netconsole script can't determine local address given the interface is not yet configured and gives up. The tiny patch that's attached makes it possible to specify local IP address to use for netconsole so that netconsole will initialize and actual interface configuration can be deferred until the user logs in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.94-1.i586
That would still require essentially static local configuration (so that it could be recorded in the config file), would it not?
Yes. That's the point of most of existing configuration values in the netconsole configuration file -- to configure netconsole with static configuration that works very early. For some reason the source address was the only remaining piece that could not be set there.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
