Description Dave Hodgins 2012-12-09 01:25:21 CET 
If I'm reading the code correctly,
/usr/sbin/finish-install
needs to have a line added with
require services;

In a vb install, where it works, journalctl shows ...
Dec 08 18:53:11 localhost finish-install[1791]: calling ask_network
Dec 08 18:53:11 localhost finish-install[1791]: calling ask_urpmi

On a real hardware install, where it fails, journalctl shows ...
Dec 08 18:35:05 localhost finish-install[1845]: calling ask_network
Dec 08 18:35:05 localhost finish-install[1845]: ask_network failed: Undefined subroutine &services::start called at /usr/sbin/finish-install line 109.
Dec 08 18:35:05 localhost finish-install[1845]: calling ask_urpmi

Why it's working in a vb install, I have no idea.

Patch to add require services to finish-install

I've confirmed that applying the attached patch, while running from a live iso,
before installing to the hard drive, fixes the problem.
