PXE kickstart with multiple network cards

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I've been setting up kickstart files for a little while now, but haven't yet
found a solution to a problem that I often have. Most of our machines have more
than one network card, and it seems that the device names (eth0, eth1..) get
handed out, in order, as the kernel loads the appropriate device drivers. This
causes a problem, since I don't know beforehand which driver will get loaded
first, and therefore which card is eth0.

As a result, it's difficult to know whether I need to pass the ksdevice=eth1
flag or not.

Is there any way I can make the device naming more clear? As silly as it
sounds, I've taken to removing the extraneous card from a machine while
kickstarting it, adding it back as soon as the install is complete. This is
defeating some of the purpose of kickstart.

Thanks!
