Public bug reported:
I'm attempting to install Feisty beta from the alternate media by
booting from PXE. The following files were copied from the installation
media to the tftp directory:
1. install/netboot/pxelinux.0
2. install/vmlinuz
3. install/initrd.gz
4. pxelinux.cfg/default with the following content:
DEFAULT preseed
LABEL preseed
kernel linux
append vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz DEBCONF_DEBUG=5
debconf/priority=critical url=http://192.168.2.60/preseed/feisty locale=en_US
console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layoutcode=us
hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false netcfg/choose_interface=eth0
When the installation process attempts to fetch the preseed file, a red
error message appears stating that the preseed file could not be
fetched. Here are a few interesting observations:
1. The network interface is enabled at this point which actually enabled me to
fetch the syslog attached below.
2. The http server on 192.168.2.60 does not display any requests in the logs.
** Affects: Ubuntu
