Hi, I'm having the same issue on Focal Fossa using ubuntu-20.04-legacy- server-amd64.iso (md5sum 9d2b54506f8f9fdad6b72e45aff0f0de).
The only workaround which helps overcome the issue of not taking into account d-i netcfg/hostname string <desired host name> from preseed file is to specify hostname=<desired host name> on kernel boot command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745531 Title: [SRU] Reinforce hostname preseed regex To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1745531/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
