I am looking at the logs and the only network related log that coincides with the resolv.conf file changing is: <29> Arp 6 06:40:49 NetworkManager[542]:ifcfg-rh: updating /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 at that point /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 changes and gets an NM_CONTROLLED="yes" added to it and the /etc/resolv.conf file is replaced with the single lined one. -- Ahmed H.

Re: kickstart resolv.conf problem with SL6
You can use DNS names in the script sections of the kickstart. It's documented in the TUV's 6.0 manuals. Don't forget to use -o nolock if you are mounting NFS.

Hi Chris, Assuming you currently don't have the hardware available to run /sbin/lspci -n, thus obtaining the Vendor:Device ID Pairing (the device fingerprint) for the NIC, I can only say that the e1000e driver should support that device. If the distro version of the driver proves to be lacking, then (as Mark has already mentioned) the ELRepo Project has the latest version available as the kmod-e1000e package [1]. Regards, Alan.

Thanks, ~Chris Tooley I try to use Intel NICs as often as possible. If the standard SL kernel doesn't support it, ELRepo (http://elrepo.org/) typically has the latest driver ready to drop in without hassle. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

kickstart resolv.conf problem with SL6
Dear SL users,I am testing SL6 and my kickstart scripts are failing. Specifically wgets are unable to resolve the hostname of the spacewalk server. I took a look and both /etc/resolv.conf and /mnt/sysimage/etc/resolv.conf are missing the nameserver line. They both just have a single line: search -- These kickstart scipts work just find on my Centos 5.5 systems, so I am not sure if this is a SL6 issue or some change in the kickstart options that I am not aware of. I have looked but I can't find any relevant difference between the RHEL5 and RHEL6 kickstart doco. And help/info in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ahmed H.
