I think there is a bug in the way anaconda configures network parameters.<br />
<br />
Example<br />
isolinux.cfg<br />
label server<br />
menu label Install a server<br />
menu default<br />
kernel vmlinuz<br />
append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/ks/server.cfg asknetwork noipv6 biosdevname=0<br />
<br />
server.cfg<br />
network --device=eth0 --onboot=on --hostname=static01<br />
<br />
If I have the above configuration I get a dialogue box pop up during the kickstart install which I can complete with static ip address settings.<br />
<br />
However the install always defaults ifcfg-eth0 to BOOTPROTO="dhcp" and not static which results in all my static address entries from being ignored<br />
<br />
Now I can get round this by putting --bootproto=static in the network command in the kickstart file but what if I would like to configure dhcp as an option?<br />
<br />
This used to work before when you could use the query option in the kickstart but now this option has been removed and you have to do it via the isolinux.cfg file it shows this bug.<br />
<br />
Is it my configuration or is it a bug?<br />
<br />
Thanks
