Package: debian-installer-9-netboot-amd64 Version: 20170127 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, We are using d-i with preseeding to automatically provision virtual machines. While testing the Stretch installer, I found out that (contrary to Jessie's installer and the documentation), it does not copy the "net.ifnames=0" argument from the kernel command line to grub's command line, even though I specify it after "---". Steps to reproduce: 1. Create an empty qemu disk image (/tmp/stretch.img) 2. Boot the installer using kvm: kvm -m 512 -kernel /usr/lib/debian-installer/images/9/amd64/text/debian-installer/amd64/linux \ -initrd /usr/lib/debian-installer/images/9/amd64/text/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz \ -append "url=URL_TO_SIMPLE_PRESEED_FILE country=GR locale=en_US language=en interface=eth0 keymap=us priority=critical --- net.ifnames=0" \ -drive format=qcow2,if=virtio,file=/tmp/stretch.img,cache=unsafe \ -netdev user,id=user0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=user0 -no-reboot 3. After installation, the virtual machine will boot up without net.ifnames=0 and the primary network interface will be called ens3. The workaround in this case is to preseed debian-installer/add-kernel-opts with the extra kernel command arguments. Regards, Apollon
