Please could you also share the /etc/network/interfaces file and the installer logs /var/log/installer ?
Thx

Title:
  Default Gateway not set during installation if suggested value is
  accepted

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  New
Status in netcfg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description/Reproduction:
  Installation was performed using a minimal Parmfile (ro locale=C). During the "network quiz" after entering IP address and Subnet mask, you are asked for the default gateway. If you confirm the correctly suggested value, the default gateway is not set. The result is that you cannot start the installer via SSH because the machine is not reachable. 
  Going into a shell and using the route command, you can see that there's no default gateway.

  route

  Kernel IP routing table

  Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref
  Use Iface

  9.xxx.xxx.0     *               255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 encf500
  ------------------------------snip------------------------------

  If you enter the default gateway during network configuration
  manually, the gateway is set correctly and installation can be
  completed.
