Thx for the hint, Michael. I now tried again based on the current daily- live image - plain as well as with edge enabled - and I got autoinstall to work on a z/VM (means with real ccw devices).
The only difference between current daily and edge is that edge is a bit nicer (afaics) if one tries to login while the install is running. The edge version gives some hints to hit Enter and allows that from remote. For reference here are my settings: parmfile / kernel args: ip=10.11.12.23::10.11.12.1:255.255.255.0:hwe0003:enc600:none:10.11.12.1 url=ftp://installserver:21/ubuntu-daily-live-server-20.04/focal-live-server-s390x.iso autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://installserver:3003/hwe0003/ http_proxy=http://squid.proxy:3128 --- quiet [or with 'subiquity-channel=latest/edge'] $ cat user-data #cloud-config autoinstall: version: 1 refresh-installer: update: yes reporting: builtin: type: print apt: preserve_sources_list: false primary: - arches: [amd64, i386] uri: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu - arches: [default] uri: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports proxy: http://91.189.89.11:3128 keyboard: layout: en variant: us locale: en_US identity: hostname: hwe0003 password: "$6$exDY1mhS4KUYCE/2$zmn9ToZwTKLhCw.b4/b.ZRTIZM30JZ4QrOQ2aOXJ8yk96xpcCof0kxKwuX1kqLG/ygbJ1f8wxED22bTL4F46P0" username: ubuntu user-data: timezone: America/Boston users: - name: me password: "$6$exDY1mhS4KUYCE/2$zmn9ToZwTKLhCw.b4/b.ZRTIZM30JZ4QrOQ2aOXJ8yk96xpcCof0kxKwuX1kqLG/ygbJ1f8wxED22bTL4F46P0" lock_passwd: false - name: ubuntu password: "$6$exDY1mhS4KUYCE/2$zmn9ToZwTKLhCw.b4/b.ZRTIZM30JZ4QrOQ2aOXJ8yk96xpcCof0kxKwuX1kqLG/ygbJ1f8wxED22bTL4F46P0" lock_passwd: false early-commands: - chzdev -e qeth 0600 - chzdev -e dasd 0200 network: version: 2 ethernets: enc600: addresses: [10.11.12.23/24] gateway4: 10.11.12.1 nameservers: addresses: [10.11.12.1] ssh: install-server: true allow-pw: true authorized-keys: [] As one can see I enabled one qeth network device and one DASD disk manually via early-commands. So I can confirm that it's working with the current focal daily-live image (or newer). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879286 Title: [UBUNTU 20.04] Netplan configuration fails to apply in subiquity installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1879286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
