Description

sometime my system starting with bootcd for install process says fail

maybe there is a mistake because by default dhcp is enabled for lan (eth0) and my router has not assigned a ip to networkinterface before mysql tries to start up?

Maybe it will be nice to select static ip on boot or maybe wait / check until a ip is assigned?

This happens from time to time and it's a known bug.
From what i can tell it doesn't have anything to do with the network.
When mysql starts it's only looking at localhost do static/dhcp wouldn't matter at this point.

Just as a reference point this happens more when using CD's vs USB flash drive.
And never happens for me when using vmware.

static ip's can be setup from the boot menu using ip=x.x.x.x as a boot parm.
At some point this should all be documented.

Can't not replicate any more. Logic has been put in place to keep trying (up to 20) if mysql fails to start.
