[Bug 1043936] Re: Biosdevname not installed in the target after server install

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Was the network available during the first failed installation? (and
usable?!)

Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target: The following extra packages will be installed:
Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target:   libpci3
Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target: The following NEW packages will be installed:
Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target:   biosdevname libpci3

Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target: Need to get 47.8 kB of archives.

Aug 30 16:07:55 in-target: E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Needs checking if biosdevname is available in the squashfs and installed
by the default server tasks / always?!

Bug description:
  I'm installing quantal from scratch on a Dell PowerEdge R310. When the
  system finishes installing ifconfig -a thinks the interface names are
  eth0 and eth1. The /etc/network/interfaces file thinks the name should
  be em1. Upon initial boot, post install the interface does not come
  up.

  
  cat /etc/network/interfaces 
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto em1
  iface em1 inet dhcp
