Description Bill Nottingham 2013-05-21 20:25:06 UTC
Description of problem:

Did a virt install over HTTP. My ifcfg-eth0 contains:

NAME="Boot Disk"

Even if the install was done via downloading kernel/boot images over network, that seems an odd name.

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

20130521 nightly

How reproducible:

once so far

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install with virt-manager
2. Look at ifcfg-eth0

Please attach the logs as individual text/plain files.

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2013-05-22 11:01:14 UTC
The name is set by dracut generating the ifcfg file.

Just for information, in anaconda we use device name as NAME of a connection when dumping ifcfg files for connections created automatically by NM, eg we rename "Wired Connection 1" to "eth0" so that the dumped file is named ifcfg-eth0 instead of ifcfg-Wired_Connection_1).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2013-05-22 18:03:51 UTC
So this is a dracut bug? I note that if I have multiple adapters, they all get 'Boot Disk' set for NAME.

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2013-05-28 14:54:10 UTC
Oh :) that name was copied and pasted since at least 4 years (git blame for the rescue :) ... 
apparently nobody has used the ifcfg-* files since then :)
