Description of problem: Can't do network install using a fixed IP address Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from Network-install CD 2.Modify boot lines to include the appropriate "repo=" and "ip=" info 3.Proceed with boot Actual results: Boot starts up ignoring ip info and connecting to DHCP instead Expected results: Boot should use IP address given and not use DHCP Additional info: DHCP is not an option for us because our network uses authenticated DHCP and I have no control over our network Please note - I am not a novice. I have installed every RedHat version starting with 7.0 and every Fedora version ever released. This is the first time I have ever been stumped on getting a network install using a fixed IP address to work.
ip= format changed in F17, and we didn't get the documentation updated in time. Please see the bug I'm marking this a duplicate of. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 826153 ***
