Hi Jorgen

We found a few more issues with buildiso when moving across from 1.6 to 2.2

DNS entries

If added via the kernel options (dns=x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x) are being set as a 
list on the APPEND line.
Old 1.6 entries we have used this a lot, this is a temporary fix put in 
place.

",".join(my_dns)


Management Interface

As this option never existed in 1.6 buildiso will fail as the management 
field is not populated with data for any interface, this is a temporary 
fix to get us round the issue in the interim.  Not sure of best approach 
here e.g. as we have ksdevice (redhat) set would could run a script to 
set False on all systems interfaces.

We use ksdevice a lot on our multi-nic systems, would it not make sense 
if management interface is selected and ksdevice is not added to kernel 
options it gets added, same could be true of other OS.  The best place 
for this I am not sure would be easy enough to add to buildiso but its 
also a nice feature to have for koan ?


BTW the name management interface seems confusing as some folks (ok me) 
will associate that we say out of band management maybe boot|build 
interface would have been a better name, just a thought.

Thanks again, will keep testing.

Cheers,
Simon
