[Spacewalk-list] asknetwork gets ignored

[Philipp Wehling]

Hello, 

Im experimenting with kickstarting Linux machines, in my case ScientificLinux7. 

We dont use DHCP for our servernetwork, so I created an iso with 


# cobbler sync 
# cobbler buildiso 

My kickstart profile looks pretty normal, nothing special. Because there is no dhcp in the network, I tried to ask me for network configuration with these options: 

- "asknetwork" in Kernel Options 
- "network: --device=ens160 --bootproto=query" in Advanced Settings 

But when I mount the iso and start installation, journalctl looks like this: 


kernel: vmxnet3 0000:03:00.0 ens160: NIC Link is Up 10000 Mbps 
dracut-initqueue: Starting dhcp for interface ens160 
... 
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on ens160 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 
dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received. 
dracut-initqueue: dhcp failed 
dracut-initqueue: RTNETLINK answers: File exists 
dracut-initqueue: Warning: Could not boot 
dracut-initqueue: Warning: /dev/root does not exist 
... 


In my opinion, this doesnt have to happen. 

Please correct me if Im wrong. 


kind regards, 
Philipp
