I think this might be the disconnect -- the netboot image is a minimal image, agnostic to installation tasks (it just gets you into the installer environment). It does *not*, in contrast to the Ubuntu Server ISO from releases.ubuntu.com, have any tasks pre-selected specifically for server. So, if you want to install "Ubuntu Server" via netboot, you must select the "Basic Ubuntu Server" task as you reported (I think) (you might also be able to preseed this, if you want to specifically test this always). Otherwise the 'seeded' entries for server will not be installed. Now, this leads to the other issue (as I mentioned in a prior comment) -- that you might also need ethtool itself in the minimal netboot environment, in order to set some hardware values. I think that decision needs to be made by the Foundations folks who are watching this bug (Steve?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690228 Title: Make ethtool installed by default in Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1690228/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
