On Trusty, one of the tests is to install a minimal VM kernel by using the "linux-virtual" kernel via a preseed entry as follows: d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-virtual On Trusty, the follow error is received: Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: warning: Kernel override 'linux- virtual' not present And the only useable kernels are as follows: Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-generic-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-virtual-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-signed-image-generic-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-extra-4.4.0-31-generic usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-generic-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-signed-image-4.4.0-31-generic usable on em64t-p4 Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic usable on em64t-p4 Which leads to the following kernels selected: Sep 14 22:40:43 debconf: Adding [KERNELS] -> [linux-signed-generic- lts-xenial,linux-generic-lts-xenial,linux-virtual-lts-xenial,linux- signed-image-generic-lts-xenial,linux-image-extra-4.4.0-31-generic ,linux-image-generic-lts-xenial,linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial,linux- signed-image-4.4.0-31-generic,linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic] I would have expected the 'linux-virtual' meta package to exist and in this case possibly point to 'linux-virtual-lts-xenial'. This way my existing preseed would not need to be updated. Forgive me in advance if this is due to my lack of understanding of the LTS/HWE kernels, however as I stated I expected the linux-virtual package to continue to exist. This does work as expected on Yakkety and Xenial.
