It's working now :-)

Thanks a lot all!

Alex

P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I have there a Local Node already running but I'm going to try again on another one to see if I can send to you the error log.

Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4 partitions on the
disk.

Partition 1 is for UEFI or bios_boot depending on your machine type.
Partition 2 and Partition 3 are Root and RootBackup. So seeing a
RootBackup is correct. Not seeing a Root is incorrect. If you rebooted
the host in the middle of the install, or if the install hung for some
reason, I can see that situation happening and see it working after
uninstall/install.

You can't activate networking at all? That is news to me. The node
should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.

Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build? Or only master branch
builds?
