I get the same or a similar problem when installing recent rawhide daily builds on the PS3 game console (powerpc64), resulting in an error dialog box with the message 'error configuring the network adapter'. Using images from here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/ppc/os/ppc/ppc64/ Builds prior to 14-Jul-2009 20:19 network config worked OK. Builds after 03-Aug-2009 06:04 network config failed. I tried to install on the powermac G5, also powerpc64, and the network config was OK. Some tty screen shots attached. -Geoff
Is this the exact same problem as the F-11 ehea bug#496820? Is it possible to provide more detailed logs to help isolate this issue? To gather more detailed logs, you might install with CD or DVD (or some other non-network installation method), you can extract /var/log/messages from the installed system
> --- Comment #4 from James Laska <jlaska> 2009-08-11 14:31:58 EDT --- > Is this the exact same problem as the F-11 ehea bug#496820? It still need to be decided if my PS3 problem is in fact the same as Robert's QS22 ehea problem. But, bug #496820 is defiantly different than the problem I am having on the PS3, as this problem started recently with rawhide, and as my screen shots show, the network interface (ps3-gelic) seems to be loaded and working (somewhat at least). I'll try to get some better logs. -Geoff
I tried with today's rawhide boot.iso (11-Aug-2009 08:37) from here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/ppc/os/images/boot.iso Using it with anaconda's 'repo=nfs:' option, the network config worked OK. It seems the problem is the network config needed when anaconda's stage2 is loaded via NFS. -Geoff
I tried network install on P6 machine using ehea. I could reproduce the issue. This problem is same as #496820. I have verified that this problem is solved on a F11 installed system in comment#52 of bug #496820(I have used NetworkManager-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.ppc and hal-0.5.12-28.20090226git.fc11). F12 uses hal-0.5.13-7.fc12.src.rpm and NetworkManager-0.7.995-1.git20090804.fc12.src.rpm. These seems to be no problem with hal as ha-0.5.13 has included the ibmebus support. As per my observation problem may be with the NetworkManager. NetworkManager in F12 has missed the ehea support i.e the following patch. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=4c36f7c0b607813753072acf1bec14414494948c
F11 and lower use HAL, which has some support for ehea and ibmebus (or whatever the bus type is here). F12 and higher deprecate HAL, and thus NetworkManager 0.7.995+ uses udev for device detection and hotplug. Thus, we need to figure out how the ehea stuff looks to udev, so that we can also support it in NetworkManager. To do so, please build the following small utility that I'm about to attach. See further instructions in the attachment message.
Created attachment 357235 [details] Dumps udev device list. Build this with: gcc -o lsudev -Wall `pkg-config --libs --cflags gudev-1.0 glib-2.0` lsudev.c and run the result like so: lsudev net and attach the output to this bug. Thanks!
The PS3 problem and the ehea problem seem to be different, so I opened a new bug for the PS3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517372 -Geoff
Geoff: I'd still like a lsudev dump though, since that will still be an issue irregardless of whether the PS3 problem gets fixed or not.

Thanks for the dump, should be fixed upstream in commit: 0fb5560b797f5cdc66101f95cf068b34b2554ed1
------- Comment From tpnoonan.com 2009-08-21 10:43 EDT------- RHBug??516591 - NetworkManager unable to configure ehea adapter on ppc during install (edit) [NEEDINFO] The alpha1 re-spin hit a snag this week. When they tested the fix applied to F11 with F12, Pavan discovered an issue with network manager. Pavan is working with Red Hat to debug the problem. The issue arose because F11 used HAL and F12 uses UDEV. If you have a person who is familiar with UDEV and network manager, you may want to ask them to get on the cc list of the bugzilla. 54720 - RIT317575- RH BZ 511304 rhel6 Alpha1: Network installation failed on machines using ehea 55495 - RHBZ516591: NetworkManager unable to configure ehea adapter on ppc during install 8/21-these 2 are the same bug, fix is in rhel6 modified state, john will get acks and has set as blocker for rhel6 alpha2, mark will watch for nightly build isos that includes this fix
Just to report, this problem is still not fixed for the PS3 game console in today's rawhide build (26-Aug-2009 08:45). -Geoff
------- Comment From THEMANN.com 2009-08-31 07:22 EDT------- (In reply to comment #15) Is my assumption correct that you'd like to report a similar problem for another NIC for PS3? Just to be sure: There is certainly no HEA in the PS3. Regards, Jan-Bernd
Dan, Is the fix for this bug is in F12 rawhide?
------- Comment From arobert.com 2009-09-03 13:24 EDT------- Hi Red Hat - will this bug be fixed in RH 6 Alpha 2? Thanks.
This problem is still not fixed for the PS3 game console in today's rawhide build (03-Sep-2009 06:32). -Geoff

------- Comment From arobert.com 2009-09-03 14:46 EDT------- Hi James - thanks for confirming that the ehea problem is fixed. Just to clarify...was this on a RH 6 build or Fedora?
Hey Robert! This was confirmed using the rawhide build from 2009-09-03. If you'd like to confirm, you can download a boot.iso from this rawhide build at http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20090903/development/ppc/os/images/boot.iso.
Verified this bug on P6 machine using ehea. I confirm that problem is fixed with fedora12 rawhide build: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20090903/development/ppc/os/ppc/ppc64/ Thanks
------- Comment From arobert.com 2009-09-04 09:40 EDT------- Please make sure this bug fix finds its way into a RH 6 Alpha 2 build. It's critical for Power systems as this supports the on-board ethernet on all P6 systems.

This problem is still not fixed for the PS3 game console in today's rawhide build (15-Sep-2009 08:23). Should I report this as a separate bug? -Geoff

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. 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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
