Joseph: Thank you for response. However, those instructions don't apply to me:
* As the title of the bug says, I'm not using grub, I'm using pxeboot.
* If you look at the config I provided above, you will see that it does not
contain "quiet", "splash", or any of the other config options that wiki page
recommends removing.
I have now removed the "vga=normal" parameter as well, but I get the
exact same results.
Regarding the serial console, I'm attaching the output that I have,
which shows the BIOS and etherboot process, up through the time that it
loads the kernel (which in this case is called
uq64.4.20120922.{linux,initrd.gz}, downloaded today from the gb Ubuntu
mirror). As I said in my initial description, nothing at all is printed
from the kernel itself. If you type "cat exile.log" in a terminal
window, you will see exactly the screen I see on the serial console.
It would make me feel much better if *someone* would please say that
they had *tried* to pxeboot on *something* using the 12.10 amd64 netboot
binaries. Then if it fails for you (as I strongly suspect it will) you
could collect information on your own system. What I strongly suspect
is not that there's any kind of obscure kernel bug, but just that the
images have been corrupted somehow during the build / mirroring process.
