Problems preseeding static ip with netcfg
Hello.
I have tried to preseed netcfg with static ip configuration while installing from cdrom with daily build of d-i with 2.6 kernel. An excerpt from my preseed file:
d-i anna/choose_modules multiselect baseconfig-udeb: Run
base-config from within debian-installer, netcfg-static: Configure a static network
d-i netcfg/use_dhcp string false
d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Configure network manually
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.254
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.1
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.254
While running d-i with any debconf/priority, I get "Malformed IP address" error. When I try to comment
# d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.254
I see the default answer about my gateway is "192.168.1." . That is last digits are lost! I have tried rc2 and nightly builds of d-i. udebs I get from unstable. What am I doing wrong ?
