Some more info: from http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l /linux-base/linux-base_4.5ubuntu1~16.04.1/changelog, it looks like the actual cutoff would be Depends: linux-base (>= 4.1)
On the question of workarounds, that confirms why pkgsel/upgrade didn't work, it's all in the base-installer udeb. The only hook point between apt-get update (where the new linux-base would be discovered) and the kernel (which currently assumes it's already installed) is the post_install_hooks call at https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/base- installer/blob/master/debian/bootstrap-base.postinst#L188, which invokes scripts in /usr/lib/post-base-installer.d: https://salsa.debian.org /installer-team/base-installer/blob/master/library.sh#L265. And I find nothing in those hooks that would preseed can control. So I'm not finding any way around it except a fixed kernel package with the right (versioned) Depends on linux-base. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820755 Title: Netboot install fails due to linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic.postinst linux-update-symlinks not found Status in Blue Linux: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in linux-base source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: Using a netboot install of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server, the install fails when configuring the kernel.
