Public bug reported:
Description/Reproduction:
Installation was performed using a minimal Parmfile (ro locale=C). During the
"network quiz" after entering IP address and Subnet mask, you are asked for the
default gateway. If you confirm the correctly suggested value, the default
gateway is not set. The result is that you cannot start the installer via SSH
because the machine is not reachable.
Going into a shell and using the route command, you can see that there's no
default gateway.
------------------------------snip------------------------------
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
9.xxx.xxx.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 encf500
------------------------------snip------------------------------
If you enter the default gateway during network configuration manually,
the gateway is set correctly and installation can be completed.
