Hi, I do kickstart installations and try to assign a static ip address to the clients: network --device eth0 --hostname xx --ip xx.xx.xx.1 --bootproto static --nameserver xx.xx.xx.2 --gateway xx.xx.xx.3 --netmask 255.255.255.0 After a successful installation process the clients come up and try to reach a dhcp server (see dhcp discovers in a network trace). Since I have no dhcp server in this network the clients come up without a network connection. Seems like a bug to me (FC5 works as expected with the same setup). Any hints?
I've seens something similar, but in my case I kickstarted one machine and then moved the disk to the server I really wanted it on afterwards. I assumed the network funnies were due to this. Your network stanza certainly looks ok to me. If you think it's a bug, put it in bugzilla. If you want a workaround, save a working ifcfg-eth0 and copy it in place after the install, either manually or via kickstart's postinstall (to put the file on the system) and /etc/rc.local (to put it where it belongs after the reboot).
