Public bug reported:
I commonly install Ubuntu using a PXE server. I was disappointed to see
that the DVD structure has been altered with 11.10, and even further
disappointed when I found that the netboot package obtained from
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
is looking in the wrong location for packages. In my web server log, I
see the following error:
[Mon Oct 24 20:08:05 2011] [error] [client 10.10.10.10] File does not
exist: /apache/vhosts/ks/docs/ubuntu/desktop/11.10/dist/32bit/dists
/oneiric-updates
The installer errors out with a message starting with "No kernel modules
were found." Looking at the DVD (or CD) image that I'm using, I find no
directory under dists by that name. I only see:
: server9 80#; ls dists
./ ../ oneiric/ stable@ unstable@
Am I missing an option somewhere, or was the netboot image incorrectly
built?
