By the way, yes I did set a hostname but did not set up networking on the same screen - little point since the network was not accessible (in fact not only was DHCP set to not give an address to the machine, but if a static ip was set then the network was setup to not allow the machine access at all)
Maybe I just did not detail enough exact steps - sorry if that led to any misunderstanding.
I finally found the problem - it was a bad DVD burn - a good DVD did not give the problem!
Very sorry for the noise.

You mean you didn't run the media check? *Always* run the media check the first time you use an install DVD.

You are right! I rarely use a physical DVD - and usually do installs via a usbkey or via an HD install with the iso on a partition that is not being formatted, and then booting a grub stanza added to grub.conf - the iso checksums are confirmed with sha256sum whenever I pull the iso files - but you are right that I should have also done a media check on the burned DVD when installing using an optical drive - lesson learned!

It would be nice to get a crack at that DVD. I'm curious how a bad burn caused a fixed bug to resurface.

I don't know but it was certainly not an alpha or a beta iso - disk is binned though....

Ed, your comments have made me doubt myself now! I have been exceptionally busy for the past month, and maybe I just plain screwed up on which iso I originally burned!
Anyway the correct iso burned properly works fine - so I am sorry I wasted people's time on this thread - I'll crawl into a corner now!

I really was suspecting that...and is why I asked "Are you 100% certain you have a "Release" DVD and not a Beta? Maybe you should run a checksum on it just to be sure?" earlier.....
Good to hear all is good.
