You have been subscribed to a public bug: alt installer is trying to shut down. not sure why it didn't finish and reboot, but instead gave me a menu. I picked "Finish the installation" but nothing happened. looking at syslog and my dhcpserver logs, I see it is looping doing a dhcp requests every second, and erroring: Jan 30 12:50:16 dhclient: dhclient.c(2138): null pointer
