Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
With a server that has multiple NIC wired, it is currently very hard (impossible) to reliably install Ubuntu via PXE.
The problem is that there is no match between what NIC is selected in the BIOS of the server to PXE boot from and what the OS will use as its main NIC to continue the installation from.

Letting the installer take care of the whole networking seems to work here:
### Network configuration
# netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible. This makes it
# skip displaying a list if there is more than one interface.
