I am seeing the same thing, new in the last couple of days. This has made it so that we can't build xenial machines via netboot+preseed anymore.
The problem I am observing is that I can begin the preseed on an install, and it downloads packages, but when it gets to libc6-udeb it results in a seg fault 18's error 4 on libc-2.23.so Once it hits this, busybox can't open a shell, and the box can't spawn anything further. ** Attachment added: "Screen shot of context when net boot freezes" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1817358/+attachment/5241001/+files/Screen%20Shot%202019-02-22%20at%2011.20.48%20AM.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817358 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 netboot installation failed during loading of installer component libc6-udeb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1817358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
