Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description jmccann 2010-05-25 23:00:45 UTC

Description of problem:
I just installed the developer workstation package set from a RHEL6 nightly in a VM on a F13 host.  After installation the system isn't able to connect to the network.  ifcfg-eth0 had ONBOOT=no and NM_CONTROLLED=no.  Once those were changed and NM restarted the guest got an IP address.  However, it wasn't able to resolve hostnames.

The developer workstation enables libvirtd by default.  This seems to set up virtbr0 and dnsmasq in the guest.  The host system was also running dnsmasq with the same listen address.

Once I uninstall libvirtd and turn off dnsmasq, NM is able to connect to the host network fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create VM in F13
2. Install RHEL6 nightly "developer workstation"
3. Boot guest and login

Yeah, this is an ongoing problem.  Cole has been working on a fix in BZ 594494.  Closing this as a dup.
