Static route setup

[Iain Conochie]

Hello,

     I am at present upgrading some IBM blades from RedHat AS2.1 to RedHat
AS3.0. I am using basically the same ks.cfg file that was used for the 2.1
install, and all seems to progress smoothly. However, when the server
reboots, I am finding that the static routes I am attempting to configure
are broken. for example

cat /etc/sysconfig/static-routes
eth1 host 10.170.127.10/32 gw 10.170.67.121

netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
10.170.67.128   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.192 U         0 0          0
eth0
10.170.67.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.128 U         0 0          0
eth1
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0
eth1
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0
lo
0.0.0.0         10.170.67.185   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0
eth0


So it looks like the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file is not in the
format expected, as I have a bogus route for 169.254.0.0 network. Can
anyone point out where I am going wrong in the config?

Cheers
