Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with basic video. The only thing I changed from the default kernel boot line was the quiet flag.

Yes, TUI.

Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA disk is connected to the onboard controller. The same problem occurred with an IDE HDD.

I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.

If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also on the engine. Is this correct?
