I would suggest to use this release for the deployment server: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201205-10987/ and the enable use your own kernel. This may help.

Network cards in this machine are too recent for our old kernel. It's a personalise ubuntu 2.6.32 with maximum of module. We had compiled the version 1.6.2 of the e1000e driver's . This version is too old for our machine. This kernel boot correctly, but the installation plant during the network configuration. So we tried with kernels 3.X after have patched si_prepareclient. We tested a lot of combinations: - Kernel : 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 ( lts ubuntu ) - si_prepareclient patched by us or that present in the 4.3 beta on http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/ We also tried the kernel and initrd provided by systemimager-boot-amd64-standard: - 4.1.99.svn4556yaubert -> http://download.systemimager.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemimager/ - 4.3 -> http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/debian-7-x86_64/Early At the begining, we have a kernel panic that looks like: Freeing unused kernel memory: 532k freed Failed to execute /init Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.7.5-boel_v4.3.0 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8134bbb1>] panic+0xb6/0x1b5 [<ffffffff81340640>] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff81340736>] kernel_init+0xf6/0x100 [<ffffffff8135192c>] ret_form_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff81340640>] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70 We tried disabling a maximum of kernel's arguments and increase the size of ramdisk in PXE's command line but it does not change : LABEL systemimager KERNEL u64/new/kernel APPEND initrd=u64/new/initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=1000000 Do you have an idea ?
