Description A.J. Werkman 2011-03-29 08:20:14 UTC
Description of problem:
The anaconda boot option "ipv6=" does not configure the network interface with a static ipv6 address.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Anaconda 15.25

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an installation with "nopiv4 ipv6=<ipv6 address> gateway=<ipv6 address> dns=<ipv6 address>" on the commandline
2. Proceed in the first fase of installation and goto the text network UI. See that IPv4 is not checked DNS address and gateway address are filled in but IPv6 address and prefix are not filled in.
  
Actual results:
IPv6 address from the boot options is not passed on to anaconda.

Expected results:
IPv6 address is configured and anaconda is able to copy packages over the network.

Comment 4 A.J. Werkman 2011-03-29 19:54:57 UTC
Although DNS server and IPv6 default gateway end up correctly in ifcfg-pci10p1, they don't show up in resolv.conf and in the routing table respectivly.

Is this also related to the cause of this bug?

ip address should be set without the prefix:
ipv6=2001:838:3ab:1::215
