On s390, the device is activated when NM is started due to ifcfg file generated by linuxrc.390. There is no need to reactivate it with the same parameters (it would even lead to fail). This condition (2nd part) from kickstartNetworkUp was causing (or perhaps to put it better - not preventing) the ractivation in case of already having been connected: if ((is_nm_connected() == TRUE) && (loaderData->netDev != NULL) && (loaderData->netDev_set == 1)) return 0; To satisfy it, just set the values properly in readNetInfo (the patch). --- loader/loader.c | 4 ++++ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/loader/loader.c b/loader/loader.c index 4a70f6c..6d1a526 100644 --- a/loader/loader.c +++ b/loader/loader.c @@ -745,6 +745,10 @@ static void readNetInfo(struct loaderData_s ** ld) { flags |= LOADER_FLAGS_HAVE_CMSCONF; } + loaderData->netDev = device; + loaderData->netDev_set = 1; + + free(cfgfile); g_strfreev(lines); return; -- 1.7.4 _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
