Parade du Grotesque

Yeah, what a fantastic idea: let’s give the Orban’s and the Meloni’s of Europe (stable geniuses one and all) things that go boom and make a nice mushroom cloud.

Fantastic.

We already have two nuclear powers in Europe.

If the interfaces are the same, and the first machine picks it up and configures it, but not the second, then the configuration might be slightly different.

Again, you should use dmesg on both machines, to make sure the interfaces are the same. I suspect the 2nd machine may have a different card than the 1st.

Another possibility is that the 2nd machine has an additional, and different, network card that is picked up as the primary one by the system. But dmesg should be able to tell you what the issue is.

You mentioned the DVD drive and the network card, and I think that’s the two major ones. If your machine uses wifi, you will definitely need to configure that as well.

Once booted, I would go through your system dmesg and try to figure which peripheral is different from the machine used to create the boot disk. These are the ones you want configured.
