Unfortunately the workaround mentioned in comment #2 (older netboot image from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer- amd64/20101020ubuntu527/images/netboot/) is not an option as it throws an error regarding missing kernel modules in the initrd –
"No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version in the archive. If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install a different version of Ubuntu. The install will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules" However: $ lsmod Module usb_storage hid_generic usbhid hid vga16fb vgastate ghash_clmulni_intel pcbc aesni_intel aes_x86_64 crypto_simd cryptd glue_helper e1000e ptp pps_core $ uname -r 4.13.0-25-generic $ ls /lib/modules 4.13.0-25-generic So not really an accurate error message at all. I suspect it is simply because it checks the Packages file and finds that there are newer versions available on the mirror. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748169 Title: netboot image for 18.04 broken with unattended install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1748169/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
