Bug#257883: netcfg: Please offer to configure all network interfaces
As long as we are fixing this, can we also fix the netcfg/interface=auto that's suppose to pick the correct interface when pxe booting? We have machines with multiple interfaces and interface=auto picks eth0 and the link is on eth4, so it complains that it couldn't get a dhcp address and quits the preseed On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Matt Taggart wrote: > Regarding #257883, "netcfg: Please offer to configure all network > interfaces" (wow old bug!)

Re: preseed error when contacting security.debian.org
It seems that error was related to apt-cacher-ng, we are in the middle of rolling out ipv6 and the machine apt-cacher-ng is running is was trying to use ipv6 when contacting security.debian.org. Disabling ipv6 on that machine fixed this issue.

disk order in installer
Hello, >From what I read, the installer names disks based on which driver was loaded first. I.e. I have a 2GB flash card which is not on the boot order list in BIOS and yet it always shows up as sda in the installer (I am using preseed if it makes a difference). Is there no way to, say, use edd in the installer, or tell preseed to use edd to read the disk order from BIOS? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

disks missing during installer
Hello, I am using preseed to install squeeze, although I am not sure if that matter. However, the installer only sees the flash card (being one of the disks), but I don't see any other disks. There are 4 disks in this system, in addition to this flash card. What is weird is that when I remove the flash card then it sees all the disks. Also we have a nfsroot environment, based on lenny. When I boot the machine into nfsroot then it sees all the disks, including the flash card. We have a bunch of machines, I have tried 3 different machines and they are all exhibiting this behavior.

Help with disk detection please
heya, I have been trying to install squeeze, but the installer doesn't see the disks, this is happening on multiple machines. All it sees is the 2GB flash card we have on the machines as /dev/sda and that's it. When I take out the flash card and reboot then it sees all the disks. However if I boot with Lenny, it sees all the disks, including the flash card -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
