I'm seeing the following issue w/ SL7 installation:
- Doing a network install w/ http acquired kickstart
- The kickstart package selection is "--nobase @core"
- The kickstart file has the following static ip declaration:
network --device=link --activate
--hostname=<xxx> --bootproto=static --noipv6
--ip=<xxx> --netmask=<xxx> --gateway=<xxx> --nameserver=<xxx>,<xxx>
- The install works fine, and the network comes up properly.
Specifically, (w/ <gateway> being the proper gateway address):
#] ip route
default via <gateway> dev em1 proto static metric 1024
x.x.x.0/23 dev em1 proto kernel scope link src x.x.x.x
- The file /etc/sysconfig/network contains just a comment,
and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1 contains:
[...]
GATEWAY0=<gateway>
DEFROUTE=yes
[...]
- However, this is for non-mobile, desktop workstations w/ assigned
IP addresses, and I don't like having NetworkManager around
potentially messing w/ the static network settings.
- In the past (SL5,SL6), I've just not installed NetworkManager
and everything works fine and dandy.
- In SL7, however, if NetworkManager is not present, (deinstalled
or not installed in the first place) the network does *not* come
up properly: the ip address is fine, but the routing is wrong:
#] ip route
169.254.0.0/16 dev em1 scope link metric 1002
x.x.x.0/23 dev em1 proto kernel scope link src x.x.x.x
So what gives? We shouldn't need NetworkManager for static ip's.
