14.04.1 preseed netinstall - progress is missing most of the time

[Rasmus Edgar Jørgensen]

When installing using a combination of iPXE (http enabled)+14.04 LTS preseed on vmware 5.0.0 the progress when fetching packages is not shown, a purple screen is shown instead until the installation reaches "Installing base system".

The introduction of this bug seems to correlate with 14.04.1release date.

The installation completes successfully, but the missing progress indicator might lead others to think that the installation has stalled.

The preseed is attached below.

Br,
Rasmus
