There is a little bug [1] in dracut that prevents setting up a CTC
interface, but I have a solution for it. I've fixed the dracut file and
repackaged the initrd.img file containing the kernel's initramfs. Please
see [2] in a while for the new initrd.img and also sample generic.prm.
That new
initramfs did fix the CTC networking problem. Thank you. And
thanks for the generic.prm. It helped as well.
Fedora 14 (and all < 17) used the old way for setting up the
hardware,
and I know CTC works with Fedora 16. Fedora 17 and newer uses dracut for
setting up the hw and there can still be bugs.
And most likely there is a bug in parted making it impossible to use FBA
disk, but ECKD should work.
Unfortunately, there are still challenges with the new
anaconda.
The first was that the VNC panel says that it's preparing with the
little spinning circle forever. Logging into the installation, I can
see that it is actually installing and that it has even finished.
However, the GUI panel never changed.
The second was that it only put one partition on my (ECKD) DASD and it
was an LVM container, so Hercules sat there spinning with no message but
not booting. When I compared the new partitioning to the working Fedora
14 one, I reinstalled and specified standard partitioning. This
produced three (/boot, swap and /) but this will not come up, either.
It does boot, which is an advance, but stop after it has activated the
network.
I'll continue the science and report.
