Can you please expand on your report, relevant version numbers and include relevant config files?

I think I was not clear, I think I don't need to join any config file for this bug :
- it is an installation bug, so it might be a bug in the install script
- I am using the 2008.06 CD, but I have just tested the new version (2008.12 posted yesterday for test) and it makes the same bug
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60385
(I think this bug has always been present, but never seen because configurations with 2 ethernet interfaces and only eth1 used are rare)
the only config lines being involved in that bug are :
eth1="..."
INTERFACES=(eth0)
in /etc/rc.conf, but in the system being installed, not in the system being installing it

if you really want me to join some config files or some additional version numbers, please say whitch ones because I don't know whitch ones to join

I have forgotten an important detail :
this install bug occurs when installing from ftp, not from core CD.
when installing from ftp :
you first setup network
then install the system
when you enter "config the system" step, you are ask wether you want to keep previous network setting in /etc/rc.conf
it is here that only half the job is done :
* eth1="..." is correct
* INTERFACES=(eth0) is not correct

Do you guys know if this is still present in the latest installer changes?

Yes, it is (I've tested the 2008.12 *.img image)

No... that is not an Official iso and does not use the official installer, last I checked (tpowa may have fixed this)

ahh, yes archboot isntaller is affected, but only dhcp config, static should work

fixed in archboot git

Ping Simo or Dan?

Is this fixed?

Must be tested. On the other hand could this be fixed in the rc.conf during install.
Should not be a stopper for 2009.01 (if aif is maybe used next times, this wouldn't be fixed in current installer).
Is on my ToDo....

I'll check aif, I agree that this is not a critical bug -> filing it for the release in a few months.

Odd.. with $INTERFACE being the interface selected,
setup does: sed -i "s#eth0)#$INTERFACE)#g" ${DESTDIR}/etc/rc.conf
aif does: sed -i "s#INTERFACES=(eth0)#INTERFACES=($INTERFACE)#g" ${var_TARGET_DIR}/etc/rc.conf

So it should work :s

Also:
> this install bug occurs when installing from ftp, not from core CD.
really? Does anyone know if there is any difference? I mean, the installer is the same right?

there is no difference between ftp CD and core CD, there is only difference between installing from CD and installing from ftp.
this bug occurs when installing from ftp from the core CD.

Tobias, you fixed this in archboot?
I cannot find the problem in /arch/setup or in AIF.

when you pick ftp, you choose $INTERFACE, and later this $INTERFACE should be replaced into /etc/rc.conf.

Do you know where the problem is?

Wrong Tobias - I do that all the time too :)

aaron since when you use archboot images ;) ?

I stole the fix from archboot ( http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archboot.git;a=blobdiff;f=usr/share/archboot/installer/setup;h=2cb0cb24bb6643c2269d53e478f12cea08b662a8;hp=8b671c08dc1cb29bbf3fd47f9cc54ba443ec1524;hb=11bc0c5425cb50c77a6d2ecc6df918fe43fb554e;hpb=b69efea9df6cd5144ba86b6c37a983f1a7fddfc6 )

Let me know how this works for you

I just meant - it was assigned to neri, not tpowa. (We have two Tobiases)
