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.

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?
