Hello everyone:

I was upgrading my regression testing server, and bumping the version of guests to RHEL 6.4. I started getting massive failures in tests, because the main network interface could never get up. The following is from a serial session when virt-test tried to repair the problem:

2014-04-11 15:55:29: [root@localhost ~]#

After looking at the problem, it seems to trace back to the following lines in the *general kickstart of all RHEL6 guests*:

15:21:51 DEBUG| sed -i "/^HWADDR/d" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

That leaves the eth0 related file invalid so the interface can't go up.

I'm downloading the 6.4 image to see if I can reproduce, but in the mean time, did you ever see anything similar? We need to start having different kickstarts for different versions of RHEL. The current one is already super bloated, the base kickstart should lead to a lean guest install.

As I don't have a lot of time to work on virt-test maintenance these days, I'll have to revert back to 6.3.
I did not meet this error before.
Will try to reproduce and fix this issue.  Testing it now.

Thanks



Thanks,

Lucas
