Does it show up if you hit ctrl-l? What type of machine is this on? It was on warthog.cambridge.redhat.com (my desktop machine). This is an Athlon64 machine and the distribution being used was x86_64. Pressing ctrl-l has no effect. I don't see any error messages in the logs on tty3 and tty4 when the ethernet pick screen is displayed (I do see a line appear in the log saying that it's going to bring up the screen). This is likely a newt bug. What I believe is happening is that the string for the ethernet card is making the dialog too wide, so newt is unable to draw it on the screen. According to pnasrat, the string for one NIC on warthog is "eth0 - National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller". With the padding, line drawing characters, etc. this puts us pretty far over 80 columns. I've seen this same behavior in firstboot, elsewhere in the loader under German and Italian, and system-config-securitylevel. See also bug 185950 for a description of a problem that sounds a whole lot like yours. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 185950 *** |
