Dns hardcode brings unattended install to a halt now

Development Testing

ns7a3
fresh unattended install, dns blocked at network gateway dhcp server, install freezes here.

I know we’ve discussed this before, I forgot and started up a test instance and it took me a bit to remember why after killing the instance and then starting it anyway, when I couldn’t clear the yum cache error I remembered the dns hard code.

I then put the pass rule for the test instance above the block dns rule in the gateway and installed unattended again, completed successfully and applying updates.

So you’re shutting down the system when it hangs?

I think I also hit the same symptom with squid… I’ll try to reproduce it!

That was initial install, pre reboot post install, pre first run, I let it set for 20 minutes before I just killed it, I then booted it and it came up fine, even finished the first run from the gui and ran updates… then I wiped it with a reinstall after allowing the instance to access outside dns. @davidep

I can’t reproduce this problem: the DNS should not be involved in any process during install and first configuration.
I also tried to remove the Google DNS from the ISO and it seems to work properly, but honestly nobody else raised this problem and I would like to avoid changes on something which already works.

Probably we should search elsewhere for the cause of install process hang, but I don’t where to start since I can’t reproduce it :frowning:

Just tried and can’t reproduce event his one.
If something hangs, please check the logs and the console to see what’s happening.
