Description of problem: After fresh installed F18 the /etc/sysconfig/network doesn't exist. On this point when I create ifcfg files for interface and for bridge on top of this interface and reboot the host the initscripts ignore my ifcfg files and bridge wouldn't be created. But, if I'll just create an empty /etc/sysconfig/network file and reboot the host again the initscripts create all devices properly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install F18 2. Create 2 ifcfg files: [root@f18-igor ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no TYPE=Ethernet HWADDR=52:54:00:22:96:73 [root@f18-igor ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt DEVICE=ovirtmgmt TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp DELAY=0 NM_CONTROLLED=no 3. Reboot host Actual results: Bridge wouldn't be created Expected results: Bridge should be created Additional info:
My F18 has: initscripts-9.42-1.fc18.2.x86_64
This is actually desired behavior /etc/init.d/network: if [ ! -f /etc/sysconfig/network ]; then exit 6 fi Anaconda should create this file during installation.
I am not able to reproduce the issue and I can't think of any case where anaconda wouldn't create /etc/sysconfig/network. What kind of installation (LiveCD, DVD, netinst, PXE?) and version of anaconda or compose are you using? Are you using any kickstart? If so, could you please attach it? You can check whether the /etc/sysconfig/network file is created by anaconda at the end of installation by switching into tty2 and looking for /mnt/sysimage/etc/sysconfig/network.

I installed my F18 from regular DVD and /etc/sysconfig/network definitely wasn't created. Unfortunately, I already removed it from the host, but I would try to reinstall it again and check anaconda version.
Alon, maybe you can check it on your VM and reply to comment 3 ?

Using: Fedora-18-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso anacoda-18.6.8, text install /etc/sysconfig/network is not created, there is no reference for an attempt at /tmp/*.log.
