Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Hi,
Please refer to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610553 for details of the original bug report. Basically, this bug still persists with squeeze: 6.0.0, 6.0.4, and for wheezy: 20120206-04:56, for both i386 and amd64. Details of my testing method follow below.

I just ran a few tests, and it seems that this bug is still occuring. I did my test by booting from a CD-ROM that I burned from the downloaded iso image from the official Debian CD website. I tried each of these images, and they all were all unable to bring up the eth0 / dhcp interface after the first reboot, since it had never been released by the installation procedure. 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 "Squeeze" - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20110205-17:27 (20110205)' 'Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4 "Squeeze" - Official amd64 CD Binary-1 20120128-13:42 (20120128)' 'Debian GNU/Linux testing "Wheezy" - Official Snapshot amd64 CD Binary-1 20120206-04:56 (20120206)' Each test consisted of a complete new install of the basic debian system, which included successfully bringing up of the network (eth0 via dhcp) as part of the installation procedure, followed by a reboot into the new system. The network did not come up successfully on the newly installed system, see bug#610553 for details. On the newly installed system, using the ip address that was in the installer log, I was able to manually obtain the lease using busybox udhcpc, and then manually bring it up using ifconfig / route. This demonstrates that the impediment to bringing up of eth0 via dhcp was due to debian-installer not releasing the lease prior to shutting down and rebooting into the newly installed system. -- Thanks, Jeffrey Sheinberg -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
