[01:20] <tepsipakki> cjwatson: I have vmware workstatin 6 beta, and feisty installed on /dev/sda, not /dev/hda :)
[01:53] <cjwatson> no doubt depends on the exact hardware it's emulating
[02:34] <tepsipakki> heh, true.. it's emulating a scsi-drive :P
[05:21] <thom> cjwatson: is there any way to tell which interface the installer is trying to dhcp?
[05:36] <tepsipakki> yes
[05:36] <tepsipakki> interface=eth0
[05:36] <tepsipakki> or whatever
[05:36] <tepsipakki> on the cmdline
[05:37] <tepsipakki> or netcfg/choose_interface in preseed file
[05:39] <thom> no, that's not what i asked
[05:47] <cjwatson> you mean to find out, not to force, right?
[05:47] <cjwatson> from what level?
[05:49] <thom> well, it's running from a preseed, and i want to confirm whether the correct file was being loaded by pxelinux
[05:49] <thom> i've now done so by deleting most of the pxelinux.cfg so it tells me
[05:50] <thom> but yeah, having it say in syslog might be nice
[05:51] <cjwatson> it's on the dhclient command line, if you're at the console at the time
[05:51] <cjwatson>             execlp("dhclient", "dhclient", "-e", interface, NULL);
[05:51] <cjwatson> thom: should also be in /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat post-reboot, netcfg/choose_interface
[05:52] <cjwatson> thom: or, heck, just look in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:52] <cjwatson> the one after auto is the one it's using
[05:53] <thom> yeah, it was bombing out immediately with unknown interface, so i couldn't get it in ps
[06:34] <cjwatson> try debconf-get netcfg/choose_interface then
[06:34] <cjwatson> (after netcfg exits)
