The kickstart installation is sporadically failing on HP Gen9 boards with network connection problem in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Issue
- During kickstart installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, anaconda is sporadically failing on HP Gen9 boards (we didn't have an issue on labs with Gen8 boards).
- The failure shows the network is not connected and kicks it out to a menu:
7) [!] Network configuration
(Not connected)
- As seen, the network shows 'Not connected'.
- If we 'r'efresh or enter '7', it then shows eth0 as connected and then we can hit 'b' and the installation succeeds.
Environment
