Hi,

I had trouble connecting to the installer because my ssh client was trying to authenticate using all of my ssh private keys before password auth.
As i had too many keys, this lead to a "Too many authentication failures" message followed by a disconnection.

network-console module should indicate to be careful of this and use -o PubkeyAuthentication=no.

Regards,
Julien
