Description Dan Horák 2019-07-01 15:48:21 UTC

Description of problem:
Seems that after switching to using network-manager module instead of network-legacy, dracut can't setup networking on s390x breaking the installation process. The main install.img file can't be downloaded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-049-27.git20181204.fc31.s390x

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start an installation
2.
3.

Actual results:
Warning: anaconda: failed to fetch stage2 http://...

Expected results:
install.img downloaded


Additional info:
it's difficult to debug network setup related issue without the "ip" tool available under the emergency shell.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2019-07-01 15:51:24 UTC

Question for anaconda devels - why is anaconda unsuccessfully retrying to get stage2 (install.img) for 1+ hours (and still trying)?

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2019-07-01 15:56:28 UTC

kernel command line used during the installation, I wonder if similar parameters would break dracut on other arches as well

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2019-07-01 19:58:49 UTC

I suppose the real problem is with nm-initrd-generator. The address1 entry in the generated enc800.nmconnection file doesn't look right. It doesn't honor the netmask from the ip= parameter (21), but uses the default (8) for the IP class instead. Ping me for non-obfuscated data.

Thanks for the report.

The fixed build is now in Rawhide.

Comment 5 Dan Horák 2019-07-03 10:12:35 UTC

Thanks for the prompt fix. Now to wait for the next compose to verify everything works again.

Comment 6 Dan Horák 2019-07-04 10:14:38 UTC

All looks good with Fedora-Rawhide-20190704.n.0
