Bug Description
I'm facing an issue while trying to install Ubuntu 22.04 using Autoinstall. It seems that Ubuntu is either not reading the user-data file or encountering an error without providing any specific details, even though the user-data works on another ISO of the same Ubuntu version.

$ cat /srv/pxe_
Ubuntu-Server 22.04.2 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20230306)
While the non-working version is identified as:
$ cat /srv/pxe_
Ubuntu-Server 22.04.2 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20230728)
