[Bug 855921] Re: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed
ooshlablu is correct. You cannot preseed network settings in a preseed file which the installer is loading from a network location, because the network needs to be configured before the preseed can be fetched. The solution here is to pass the appropriate options on the kernel command line. You can either preseed the interface value directly, or you can pass the BOOTIF option on the kernel command line, which netcfg will use. If using pxelinux, the relevant option is IPAPPEND 2. http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#SYSAPPEND_bitmask I'll set this bug to status Invalid now, as it's actually a support request on how to set up automated PXE, rather than an actual bug. ** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855921 Title: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/855921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 855921] Re: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed
Hey Guys, I just ran into this issue as well, but I don't think its a preseed issue. Instead it seems like an unavoidable misordering of operations. In order to get the preseed file, the installer needs to have an ip address, which it does not have right out of the gate, even though one is required in order to pxe boot in the first place. If you look at the order in which the installer runs things, it does network configuration a few steps before actually fetching the preseed file. I'm not sure what to do about that, just offering my observations. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855921 Title: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/855921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 855921] Re: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed
Okay, so this one might be a little tricky... Our preseed is coming in over http (via the url=http://... parameter in the kernel command line). That necessitates a network up. I think what we'll need to do is to force the orchestra configuration to default the choose_interface to eth0, and document that this needs to be tweaked for any systems where that's not the case. ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: High = Undecided ** Changed in: orchestra (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: New = Won't Fix ** Changed in: orchestra (Ubuntu Natty) Status: New = Won't Fix ** Changed in: orchestra (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: orchestra (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: orchestra (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) = Andres Rodriguez (andreserl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855921 Title: does not honor netcfg/choose_interface in preseed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/855921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
