I'm having some problems installing using current rawhide boot.iso

It's not the network driver -- it's dhcp. Set the address manually and
it should work OK.


That doesn't seem to do it.

On the Alt+F3 message screen, I get

WARNING: no network link determined on eth0

Continuing anyway, with manual IPv4 addy, it fails after entering the details about my FTP source server.

ERROR: cannot determine address family of ftpserver.local.net

Also I tried monitoring the virtual network I'm using for this and there is no traffic from the fc7/rawhide VM.

The same problem exists if using a virtual e1000 device instead of the default pcnet32, so it's probably not a driver problem anyway. Although I have to admit, that I don't have a lot of experience with the virtual e1000 card.

I'll try and see if this problem exists on a random physical box too.
