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.

Doc Text:	mkdumprd now honours PEERDNS With this update, mkdumprd honours the PEERDNS variable in the kdump environment, so that the user sets PEERDNS=no in a ifcfg-* file, defines their search domain and DNS servers in resolv.conf, which will lead to mkdumprd copying over the settings in resolv.conf file to the equivalent files in the kdump initrd daemon.

Comment 1 Tom Lavigne 2012-09-07 15:21:00 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for 
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Since we are unable to provide this feature at this time,  
it has been proposed for the next release of 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 05:04:36 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 Minfei Huang 2014-12-11 08:39:55 UTC

Still wait for feedback. And the implementation of dhcp are different between RHEL6 and RHEL7. Maybe this issue is more difficult to be fixed in RHEL6.

Comment 11 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 01:28:09 UTC

The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
