(Get the code!)
Hi Brian!
In my environment, I added the following lines to the preseed file (see below).
I hope this information is enough, otherwise just tell me if you need more.
Bye,
Stefan
Test case and Bug reproduction
-------
1) Add the following lines to your preseed file of your Ubuntu installation target:
# Disable network configuration entirely. This is useful for cdrom
# installations on non-networked devices where the network questions,
# warning and long timeouts are a nuisance.
d-i netcfg/enable boolean false
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string BLABLABLA
d-i netcfg/get_hostname seen true
2) Start the installation that refers to this seed file.
3) Wait until netcfg will load.
=> When loading the netcfg module, the installer will report an error (red message box). In the log console you will find a segfault message in the netcfg execution as mentioned above.
