Description Per Jessen 2012-04-23 16:10:23 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0

Hardware:  ML570G3, SmartArray, 32Gb ECC RAM, dual gigabit NICs.

I tried installing current Factory (using pci=noioapicquirk), which seemed to go fine up until 2nd stage where I found that no network interfaces had been configured.  It looks like the 1st installation stage (over ssh) is restarted - I get the usual invitation to run yast.ssh. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start installation, choose minimum server selection, unselect grub and SuSEFirewall.  Also select default kernel, add man and man-pages, tcpdump, dmidecode, but I doubt if those have any influence on the network situation.

I don't believe any of this is actually relevant - I've just now tried yet another box, completely different hardware, same result.  This time almost a completely default install, except I deselected 'SuSEfirewall'.

Hi,

I think I had a similiar problem: Netinst 12.2 Beta1 as VMware Guest (x86-64).
After successfully installing all software packages, the system went into the 2nd stage where - after setting the host name - it could not find any network interfaces.
Checked this on console 2: Yes, no active eth0. Modprobe'd the correct module "e1000e", ran "dhcpcd eth0" and got a valid IP address and default route.
But repeating the 2nd stage installation still failed to detect the (now configured) interface eth0.
I then restarted the guest, and then the network interface got detected.

Proxy.ycp cannot be imported - I think this is a duplicate of bug 765129
