Public bug reported: I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 (latest rc) via PXE. I am able to do so, but I am unable to make the process use my local NFS server, regardless of the options I use.
I have set the following options in my pxelinux.cfg file: prompt 0 timeout 1 default auto label auto menu label ^Auto menu default kernel distributions/ubuntu/16.04.rc2/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux ipappend 2 append vga=normal initrd=distributions/ubuntu/16.04.rc2/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz auto=true url=http://192.168.1.10/ks/16.04.rc2.ks.cfg locale=en_US setup/layoutcode=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 interface=auto net.ifnames=0 netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.10/var/lib/tftpboot/distributions/ubuntu/16.04.rc2 -- Here is the contents of my /etc/exports on my NFS server. I have confirmed that I can mount this export on another Linux machine: /var/lib/tftpboot *(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) If I use alt-F4 during the install process, I can see that the installer is downloading files from http://archive.ubuntu.com. This, despite the fact that I'm using an nfsroot, and despite the fact that I include the following in my preseed file: d-i live-installer/net-image string http://192.168.1.10/distributions/ubuntu/16.04.rc2/install/filesystem.squashfs d-i mirror/country string enter information manually d-i mirror/http/mirror select 192.168.1.10 d-i mirror/http/hostname string 192.168.1.10 d-i mirror/http/directory string /distributions/ubuntu/16.04.rc2/ d-i mirror/suite string xenial ** Affects: pxe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: bash (Ubuntu) => pxe (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571740 Title: Ubuntu PXE installer won't use NFS server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pxe/+bug/1571740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
