Installer Assumes Network Interface

When installing, the pl file involved in setting up the bridge assumes the interface is eth0. It should try to auto-detect or prompt and verify the nic. In our case, the nic gets auto-detected as eth1 by kickstart in one datacenter. I had to modify the perl script and re-run to finish the install.

That seems like a bug. Does your system have an eth0 interface at all?

Some do some don't. Some have two nics, some have 1 nic with a private and public interface. One DC only gives 1 NIC and we have a vlan setup between a server cluster.

I looked and you have the variable for interface hardcoded to "eth0".

Ok, in the next Cloudmin release I will make it possible to specify an interface to create the bridge on using the --bridge-interface ethX flag to the install script.
