Thanks for that. I've examined the differences between this image and the corresponding one for 5.0.6, and I can't find anything that would account for the difference in behaviour. In particular, the versions of netcfg (the component that handles the hostname) are the same, and it doesn't have a lot of external dependencies that could affect it. Unfortunately, without any ability to reproduce the problem, or any way to narrow down what the difference might be, I'm afraid I can't go any further with this bug report. Also, as Squeeze is very close to release, and you've reported that the squeeze installer works fine, there's a limit to how much time I'm willing to expend trying to reproduce the problem. If you have or discover any further information that might help, please feel free to e-mail the bug report, otherwise this will have to languish, and will be closed once woody is no longer supported. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
