PATCH: Installer problem: default gateway not added from dhcp during install

[corsmith@…]

Seems to be a problem in /etc/dhclient-script with the via keyword in ip route. Using the "route" command works fine though.

Tested on 0.9.3

Patch attached.

Patch for /etc/dhclient-script to use route instead of ip route

[juruen@…]

Hi,

The problem of setting a default gateway via DHCP during the install is an issue that only affects the system at that stage. It's related to the kernel version used during the install process which makes dhclient fail when adding a route. Nevertheless, the process might continue as we have all the necessary packages on the cd and there's no actual need to connect to the internet.

After the first booting, your system will use a newer kernel which does not have such a problem.

The patch you sent us is not valid because we need to add default routers to the default table, and not to the main table and that's what the old-fashioned /sbin/route command does and the reason why we explicitly modified the dhclient-script.

Thanks for taking your time to report this.
