[Bug 1018558] Re: d-i ignores netcfg/disable_dhcp=true from the kernel command line

[Mark Russell]

Thanks so much Maxime.  Indeed it seems that there is no bug here.  I
didn't see anything in the change logs for the debian-installer package
it self.  But lo and behold, based on your tip, I found that it was
indeed changed in the Installation Guide docs.

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/boot-parms.html
#installer-args

So just a change.  Not a bug.  Thanks for your comment!

Title:
  d-i ignores netcfg/disable_dhcp=true from the kernel command line

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

Bug description:
  From my testing so far this problem began with oneiric and continues
  with precise.  Lucid and Natty work as expected.

  What I expect to happen:

  1) boot mini, alternate, or server install ISO (i.e. any debian-installer based ISO)
  2) append "netcfg/disable_dhcp=true" before the double-dash in the kernel command line
  3) start installer
  4) be prompted for IP configuration

  4) d-i attempts to configure with DHCP
