Thank you for the pointer. I have played around with the settings and
found that this works in order to automate as much as possible:
append initrd=ubuntu/x86-ui/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=20480 root=/dev/rd/0
devfs=mount,dall rw debconf/priority=critical languagechooser/language-
You can preseed netcfg/dhcp_timeout to the number of seconds you want
the timeout to be. See the installation guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/preseed-
contents.html#preseed-network
** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected

We are using the kickseed configuration file method for installation.
We have tried fixing the speed and duplex of the switch port and setting
it as auto. This has the same result, ie. failure on first attempt and
success on second attempt of network autoconfiguration. As far as I can
tell,
The following is output from virtual terminal 4 as the Ubuntu Installer
starts up and attempts to autonegotiate:
Jun 11 18:51:47 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface
