[Bug 1591134] Re: system-config-kickstart only allows eth0 etc...

[Jb]

For me, if I have one network device it magically maps to eth0 and it
works.

However, if there are more than Ethernet devices then nothing is mapped
to eth0 and it doesn't work.  And by doesn't work, I mean the installer
crashes.

To duplicate just set to eth0 in kickstart and boot a VirtualBox virtual
machine with two Intel Ethernet adapters.


Work around is to manually edit the kickstart file:

Original line:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0

fixed line:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=auto
