i have some servers connected via shared idrac when ethernet ports in a rack are at a premium. i swear this used to work (but i may be making it up), normally via dell idrac i can mount whatever iso over the one connected ethernet port and boot and install whatever. however using any of the last several proxmox isos when i start an install it looks like proxmox likes to try network discovery dhcp and such and at that point it seems to reset the nic enough that it breaks the iso network mount and the idrac instance resets and the installer stops. same effect if i mount the iso via network in other ways. is there any way to tell the installer via kernel options or such to skip any network discovery/etc since I plan to use static networking anyway? apologies if this has been asked before , all my searches were finding complaints about link issues further in the installation.
can you prevent nic reset during iso/install start

This seems to be hardcoded: https://github.com/proxmox/pve-inst...4e028c2a798e8f0a065a9b49/unconfigured.sh#L321
Maybe you can use the debug installer and simply replace

dhclient with a stub/noop before you continue the install? https://github.com/proxmox/pve-inst...4e028c2a798e8f0a065a9b49/unconfigured.sh#L302ah interesting. thanks for looking that up for me. interesting idea, i may give that a shot. at least see if thats what is causing the brief link reset. thank you.
