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.

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2010-08-11 16:06:03 UTC
Essentially, if DHCPv6 only is desired, then anaconda should make sure to explicitly disable IPv6 autoconf, otherwise the autoconf default depends on what the forwarding values are.  Better to be explicit and add IPV6_AUTOCONF=no in this case instead.

Comment 5 Radek Vykydal 2010-08-13 07:42:13 UTC
This should be fixed in anaconda-13.21.75-1.

Comment 7 Alexander Todorov 2010-08-20 10:43:33 UTC
With snap #12 the ifcfg-eth0 file has:

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=yes

Moving to VERIFIED.

Comment 8 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 19:52:55 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
