Description Jan Engelhardt 2012-07-12 23:57:21 UTC 
In openSUSE 12.1 RC1 (build 050), since I have no DHCP server on the subnet installing on, I let the installation drop out into linuxrc, and then set up manual networking. However, the DNS settings, in particular the DNS server, is not saved into the system to be installed; /etc/resolv.conf is empty, causing the postinstall to fail grabbing updates (see screenshot).

Reproduced even on 12.3.

I'll reopen the bug as it is more simple to reproduce and debug than its duplicate.

I tried two ways how to prepare static net configuration by linuxrc:
- First one:
I've passed following params when starting installation
startshell=1
netconfig=static
hostip=<ipv4>
nameserver=<ipv4>
netdevice=eth0
gateway=<ipv4>
domain=suse.cz

When shell was started (before YaST) net wasn't running and none of params was mentioned in /etc/install.inf (including Cmdline key - with small exception of netconfig param)

- Second one
I've passed following params when starting installation
startshell=1
netsetup=-dhcp,now

This time net was running. However nothing was mentioned in /etc/install.inf.

I need the static net configuration in /etc/install.inf for second stage. I cannot store it on target system since some installation scenarios do not allow to store a net config on target and relevant code is excluded from installation control flow.

I've worked with OpenSUSE 12.3 Final(GM).

Would it be possible to store static net configuration in /etc/install.inf for second stage?

The newer bug duplicates the old. One cannot duplicate that which does not exist.
