Hi Thomas, sorry for the late reply - i was away and then it took some time to get back to the issue. I don't know what I did wrong initially, but everything is working now and NIC1 is always set in boot.log.
I am using the following parameters for GRUB: * HOSTNAME (without FQDN) * DOMAIN (I am working in a subdomain and this was necessary for DNS to work properly during installation) * ip=<hostip>::<gateway>:<netmask>:<FQDN-hostname>::off:<nameserver1>:<nameserver2> (here, the FQDN hostname and the nameservers were needed - again for DNS) * BOOTIF=<mac address> (can't remember why, but it was necessary) * rd.neednet=1 (was necessary, because dracut does not seem to set up networking, when the NFSROOT is available locally - like from CD in my case) Some of the parameters might be redundant, but since it is working now I am happy. At a later point, I might try to clean up unnecessary/redundant parameters.

I wonder why the change does not appear on the CD. It's important that NIC1 is also set in boot.log. If not, that's why the error occurs. -- viele Grüße Thomas
