WORKAROUND/POSSIBLE SOLUTION I have confirmed that the missing "jme.ko" module is indeed the culprit. I have done the following:
1) Take the original netinstall initrd.gz from a Kubuntu 11.10 i386 alternate CD and unpack it using the instructions in http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt 2) Copy jme.ko from a working Kubuntu 11.10 (take care to use the correct kernel version, should be 3.0.0-12) into the lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/net directory that was just created 3) Re-create initrd.gz using the mkinitramfs script described in http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt 4) Copy the new initrd.gz to the location where the netboot files are stored on the server 5) Start autoinstall and enjoy. The same method should work for any other missing modules. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880316 Title: Ubuntu installer can't setup network on Shuttle XS35GTV2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/880316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
