First of all, both examples from comment #3 work (subiquity also installs that way).
I guess it's obvious that the '--location' doesn't work with the directory tree anymore due to the change in the URL from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/images/ to: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy-images/ (notice that <eoan> http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/eoan/main/installer-s390x still works). As far as I can tell the URL change was done by intention and to indicate that the default installer for 20.04 is no longer d-i, but subiquity. The '--cdrom' is a valid option for many cases, but unfortunately not for all, since it doesn't allow the '-extra-args' argument - '-extra- args' only works in combination with '--location', not with '--cdrom'. I currently see two options, one is renaming the URL back and the second option is to directly specify kernel and initrd, like: ubuntu@s1lp11:~$ virt-install --name ubuntu20-guest1 --memory 4096 --vcpus 4 --disk "size=4" --install kernel=http://ports.ubuntu.com /ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy- images/generic/kernel.ubuntu,initrd=http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu- ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy- images/generic/initrd.ubuntu --network "network=default" As far as I can tell netboot images/files at 'ports.ubuntu.com' are all d-i only. For subiquity one needs to grab kernel and initrd for potential netbooting from the focal-live-server-s390x.iso or the iso itself. Btw. preseed is the non-interactive installation method based on d-i. With the new subiquity installer the preseed successor is 'autoinstallation' - for more details let me refer to: Automated Server Installs for 20.04 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls Automated Server Installs Config File Reference https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/ConfigReference JSON Schema for autoinstall config https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/ConfigSchema Autoinstall Quick Start https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart Autoinstall Quick Start for s390x https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart/s390x -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
