[Bug 760887] Re: Unable to network install on natty

[Sándor Rácz]

Bug confirmed on a Lenovo Thinpad L520.
The same netinstall scenario works fine on a VMware virtual machine.
Tried with Lucid: install completes with no errors.

Title:
  Unable to network install on natty

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  I've been testing cobbler network installations and have run into the
  following problem;

  Installation of lucid servers using the attached preseed works just
  fine; however using exactly the same preseed with natty fails; the
  installer starts OK however when it gets to device detection the link
  drops and the installer no longer has a network link and fails.

  I've also attached the syslog from the failed installation - I get the
  same issue on both i386 and amd64 installs.
