RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. 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 Alexander Todorov 2010-08-09 08:52:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm installing a fully virtualized Xen guest using the latest RHEL6 snapshot. By default virt-manager will assign only one NIC to the guest but anaconda reports two. Running ifconfig on tty2 during install shows that there are 2 NICs which have the same HWADDR. This could be related to bug #621846.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.32-59.1.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a RHEL5.5 Xen host start install of a new domU
2. Select fully virtualized, type/variant: Linux/RHEL6, boot from boot.iso

  
Actual results:
During stage1 of anaconda there's a screen to configure TCP/IP which shows 2 NICs. In stage2 ifconfig also shows two NICs with the same hadware address.

Expected results:
Only one NIC because only one interface is assigned to the guest.
