nicdelay parameter is not respected for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 installation

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I tried to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 with kickstart file in a customer installation ISO.
  • The kickstart file includes a static network information, and an network interface seems to be activated upon the log message.
  • But, I saw a nfs mount failure, and it prompt to correct the repository information.
  • It can proceed the installation process by just pressing Enter without any change.
  • I thought that network was not available actually when it tried the nfs mount.
  • I tried nicdelay= boot parameter, but it didn't make any change.
  • I tried linksleep= boot parameter as well, but it also didn't make any change.
