Hi all,
I am trying to rename and bond two eth with AY while installing over NFS. It fails in the second configure step because it can't setup networking.
SLES11 on a HP DL385 G5 with two internal NICs and one additional PCI dual-port NIC.
These are the relevant parts of my networking section:
<networking>
<net-udev config:type="list">
<rule>
<name>eth0</name>
<rule>ATTR{address}</rule>
<value>00:23:7d:25:5f:e4</value>
</rule>
<rule>
<name>eth1</name>
<rule>ATTR{address}</rule>
<value>00:23:7d:25:5f:e6</value>
</rule>
</net-udev>
<interfaces config:type="list">
<interface>
yes
mode=1 miimon=100
eth0
eth1
<bootproto>static</bootproto>
<device>bond0</device>
<ipaddr>1.2.3.4</ipaddr>
<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
<prefixlen>24</prefixlen>
<startmode>auto</startmode>
</interface>
<interface>
<bootproto>none</bootproto>
<device>eth0</device>
<startmode>off</startmode>
</interface>
<interface>
<bootproto>none</bootproto>
<device>eth1</device>
<startmode>off</startmode>
</interface>
[... snip ...]
</networking>
Now what happens after the reboot is:
Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.8.0 (Aug 14, 2008)

eth2 renamed to eth2_rename by udevd [2613]
eth1 renamed to eth2 by udevd [2615]
udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth2
eth2_rename renamed to eth1 by udevd [2613]
udev: renamed network interface eth2_rename to eth1
Funny, only eth2 and eth1 get switched. And later it goes:
Setting up (localfs) network interfaces:
lo
lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8
IP address: 127.0.0.2/8 done
eth0 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5706 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)

eth1 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12)

eth2 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5706 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
eth2 Starting DHCP4 client. . . . . . . .
eth2 DHCP4 continues in background waiting

11 10 8 7 6 4 3 2 1
eth2 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5706 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
eth2 DHCP4 client (dhcpcd) is running
eth2 . . . but is still waiting for data waiting
eth2 interface could not be set up until now failed
Setting up service (localfs) network . . . . . . . . . . failed
*** Starting YaST2 ***
So network cannot be setup for the second stage because
1) eth0/1 are disabled for bonding
2) eth2 is in another VLAN
And the final configuration step fails with:
Cannot access installation media
SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11 11-0 (Medium 1).
Check whether the server is accessible.
Am I doing something totally wrong?
Or should I open a bugreport with Novell?
Thanks,
Michael
ps: Why bother with renaming? Because not all our servers have additional NICs and for consistency I want the internal ones to always be eth0/1.
