Comments/Problems:

I am trying to perform an automated preseed install of Jessie as a guest operating system using VirtualBox running on a Windows 7 Enterprise host.

 

The problem is that when the installer tries to download the preseed file, the network has not been configured. The failure to download the preseed file causes the installer to fall back to an interactive installation.

 

Opening a console shell and running "ip address" only shows the loopback interface. Looking in /lib/modules, the network device modules are missing (virtio_net.ko). I have tried all the other virtual network interfaces supported by VirtualBox without success.

 

This installation method used to work for me. The last known working ISO is:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_alpha_1/i386/iso-cd/debian-jessie-DI-a1-i386-netinst.iso

 

Dropping back to using a Wheezy ISO (v7.7) works correctly, however using Wheezy is not an option because the GStreamer code I am using requires more recent versions of glib and gobject than those that ship with Wheezy.
