Bug Description
The problem:
The following iPXE cmdline fails to boot the 20.04 Desktop iso served via NFS but works flawlessly for 18.04 and earlier:
"kernel images/
initrd images/
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=
boot"
During early boot, the only error message printed is:
"Unable to find a live file system on the network" with no further help on why the failure occoured or how to resolve it.
How to reproduce:
1. Download the official ubuntu desktop iso
2. Copy casper directory to nfsroot location
5. Boot client PC
6. Watch boot fail
I am not sure why it's failing.
