Public bug reported: Attempting to use PXE to install 16.04 results in an error dialog that states "The failing step is: Install the system". Checking syslog shows that it has prefixed the URL to the filesystem.squashfs with "/cdrom" and failed to find the file.
base-installer: info: Downloading /cdromhttp://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs to /tmp/live-installer/filesystem.squashfs Setting the path to the filesystem.squashfs by either the "append" option in the PXE default file, or as a preseed option in the kickstart file both have the same result. My PXE menu option: LABEL Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop MENU LABEL Xenial 16.04 Desktop KERNEL 1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux append vga=normal ks=http://192.168.1.251/ks-1604-64-desktop.cfg initrd=1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz live-installer/net-image=http://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs biosdevname=0 I found a changelog for live-installer 51ubuntu1 dated 4/18/16 that states it strips /cdrom/ prefix from all places, but this does not appear to be happening. The log line points to base-installer rather than live-installer as the cause. This is from the 16.04 server release ISO, running base-installer_1.158ubuntu2_amd64 and live-installer_51ubuntu2_amd64 I would expect that locating the live-installer filesystem.squashfs would not prefix the specified URL with /cdrom. Previous versions of Ubuntu did not do this. ** Affects: live-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575652 Title: PXE install prefixes /cdrom to squashfs location, fails to find it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-installer/+bug/1575652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
