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.

syslog messages

Description of problem:
Installer is unable to configure network during startup (in stage1) if iBFT is used. Syslog contains:

12:25:43,341 NOTICE NetworkManager:    ifcfg-rh: updating /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
12:25:43,345 WARNING NetworkManager:    ifcfg-rh:     error: Missing device MAC address (no HWADDR tag present).
12:25:43,345 NOTICE NetworkManager:    ifcfg-rh: removed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.


Issue occurs only in case of iBFT, "standard" network setup passes without issue. As error message says ifcfg-eth0 is missing HWADDR=. It is missing this value also in case of "standard" network setup, probably BOOTPROTO=ibft has to be counted here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.1-20110406.0
anaconda 13.21.111

Reproducer:
Use iBFT hw

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2011-04-13 11:22:40 UTC
I hear that the same thing happens with cxgb3i partial offload iscsi card (with
ibft).

Comment 4 Radek Vykydal 2011-04-13 11:23:48 UTC
This is caused by bug #690589.

Comment 6 David Cantrell 2011-04-13 19:53:00 UTC
*** Bug 696198 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 David Cantrell 2011-04-13 19:57:42 UTC
Radek has confirmed that patch 02398bf054de532bdbe64ce88239a30b208bcd62 is causing this bug (as well as bug #696198).  Reverting the patch resolves the issue.  The patch was originally introduced for bug #690589, but was really more of a completeness thing and not really solving a problem.

Requesting pm_ack and blocker approval so we can revert this patch in anaconda.  I will mark 690589 as devel_ack- since we will be removing the patch for it.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-13 19:59:35 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.

Comment 10 Radek Vykydal 2011-04-15 12:42:04 UTC
This should be fixed with revert of bug #690589 in anaconda-13.21.113-1.
