With koan there is the ability to supply --static-interface to configure the boot line for static ip build but using buildiso it will default to eth0 or bond with eth0. If I specify ksdevice=mac or ksdevice=eth1 as a kernel param, buildiso passes ksdevice=xxx but takes the ip details from eth0, which if I passed ksdevice=eth1 would be the wrong ip details.
Is is worth amending the code to pay attention to ksdevice or say allowing a new parameter in the network config to pass say --bootif=[mac|ethx] and then getting buildiso to use that ? I am happy to take a look at the code but not sure of best direction ? Other thoughts with koan livecd would there be a away to detect the correct interface for a given ip ? We have servers that have multiple cards and dependant on hardware, version of linux working out the correct eth becomes a real headache. Even knowing MAC addresses does not always allow you to plug the correct cable into the right port.
