Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andy.speagle@netapp.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36 We're having some issues getting the default "dhcpcd" client to work when behind a Cisco Nexus 5k switch, specifically during installation. Once the system is installed, we can switch to using the ISC dhcp client "dhclient" ... however, during installation, no such selection is possible. I would like to know if it's possible to modify the initial ramdisk for the installer with the express purpose of replacing the stock "dhcpcd" client with the ISC "dhclient" utility instead. It's possible that the version of "dhcpcd" in the installer is incompatible in general with these switches, in which case, perhaps it's feasible to introduce a version into the installer that would be more compatible. It might also be wise to include both dhcp clients in the installer, in the case that the default client fails, the other can be used instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start SLES 11 installation. 2. Installer tries to get IP address via dhcpcd. 3. Failure. Actual Results: Installer is unable to acquire an IP address via dhcpcd. Expected Results: Installer is able to acquire an IP address via either dhcpcd or dhclient. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
