Public bug reported: When attempting to do a netboot install of 11.04 in a paravirtualized Xen domU, the xen-netfront kernel module is not loaded by default. It has to be loaded manually during the install process and the 'detect network cards' part of the install re-run before proceeding.
Additionally, after install is complete the new domU will fail to boot properly, because the xen-blkfront kernel module is not loaded by default. This has to be done manually, and xen-blkfront added to /etc /initramfs-tools/modules and update-initramfs -u run. After this, the domU will work as expected.
