This is in the post_install_network_config script: ## Disable all eth interfaces by default before overwriting ## the old files with the new ones in the working directory ## This stops unneccesary (and time consuming) DHCP queries ## during the network initialization sed -i 's/ONBOOT=yes/ONBOOT=no/g' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* The issue may be that the 10gige cards show up as something else - on RHEL6 I see them show up as pXpY (ie. p1p1 is the first port on the first 10gige cards). You could either tweak that line and submit a patch/ticket to get it in the mainline or just write a custom snippet that does the same thing. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
