---Problem Description---
We tried to install ubuntu 16.04.2 by using vNIC. When we tried to load the installer, we saw an issue. Comment from bug 144675, it looks like the ibmvnic module is not included in 16.04.2 or 17.04 installer.

Ubuntu 16.04.2 installer does not exist anymore. I understand that this problem also exists in 16.04.3 installer, is this assumption correct?
