Hi,
So, i have tested some more, and the auto config is getting the DNS
settings from the RA as expected but never creates a resolv.conf. The
issue is that if one exits to the shell and set DNS it gets removed (the
file resolv.conf is removed). So if we let the install go on and then
when it asks to scan for media, we exit, run this oneliner and then go
back in the install and select configure packets we get to select a
mirror. How ever, even with that, the task select only has the "base
utilitys" to select so someting seems to get broken in the install when
it can not detect the network in the start.
rdisc6 ens18 | grep "Recursive DNS server" | cut -d ":" -f 2-| sed 's/
/nameserver /g' > /etc/resolv.conf
Best regards,
Thomas

I'm guessing the installer just does not re-read resolv.conf at the right
time? What happens if you enable install-by-ssh, and then ssh in?
AFAIK, that starts a new installer binary, so it ought to read things afresh.
I'm not saying this is a fix, it's not. But it might reveal more about what
is wrong.
But it can install the base OS? My guess because "apt" reads /etc/resov.conf
itself, so it doesn't care that the installer didn't. Am I hearing that it
can't get beyond the base-OS (like tasksel), or did I misunderstand and that
there isn't a
second step.
