I'm attempting to create a headless install by enabling the Automation Options in dietpi.txt. However the install halts during "DietPi-Software" due to repeated failed "connection test" attempts.
"ifconfig" shows eth0 is up but has not obtained an IP, if I run "dhclient eth0" the interface is able to obtain an IP, at that point I can "exit" and it will continue with the rest of the install. Also, rebooting will obtain an IP and the install will finish. Any ideas what the issue might be?
Might be, your DHCP Server on LAN react to slow or your LAN performance is bad (packet loss).
DHCP Server is a ...?

I've modified the boot script to fix the above, and debug a little. Can you:
- Write a fresh DietPi image
- Download this file, and place into /boot/dietpi/boot
- Set automation settings and power on.
Can you also upload your dietpi.txt aswell please, remove any keys/pw's?

C2 are booting and working really so dammed fast!
As you probably know, the C2+EMMC is a beast combination. I have one powered up every day for DietPi testing and coding. I couldn't live without one now. When I power up a RPi 3, even with the SD card overclock, it feels like a snail, everytime.

Success! I burned a new image with the modified boot file and while it did still fail the connection test 3 or 4 times it then past and continued on.
I notice the connection test says "Max duration of 20 seconds..." but it only seems to wait maybe 1-2 seconds, is this how it is supposed to perform or is that something also to do with the speed of the C2?

Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks for the report.
Yep, it shouldn't take 1-2 seconds, could be a bug in the code, i'll take a look.

I have the same error on raspberry pi model B on first boot. Wifi adapter - asus usb n13. Dietpi v130. On previous versions all was working fine. What do i need to do?
