[8.050][BUG][OPEN] Kernel crash during install

BrucekConvergent
Ran into a wierd one... using one of our custom network appliances, which are based on the Intel Atom D410, with 4 Intel 1Gb/s NICs (Astaro detects them as 82574L), if one does not have a link light (cable connected) on the interface you select as the management interface during install, the install crashes with a panic when you get to the IP address screen.  Saw some info in the call stack indicating it was working with the NIC when it happened ... tried it with a cable connected, it worked fine.

This does not happen with the 8.002 ISO I have on hand.

    Update:  Well, the link does not play a role ... or at least not a definitive one... tried several reinstalls, it only worked once out of all of them, and that was with the cable connected.  It appears to be a random issue, probably introduced in the new NIC driver in this build.  8.002, no problems, multiple reinstalls.

    I suspect that once I do get this unit reloaded with the beta, it's liable to be unstable (NIC crashes). We'll see.
