ubuntu-16.04-server-i386.iso misses /install/vmlinuz

[Frederic Beister]

I am currently building a multiboot PXE server but this ISO gives me headaches.

The ISO MD5 sum correctly verifies with 494c03028524dff2de5c41a800674692.

/install/vmlinuz is a 0 byte file but it is referenced e.g. in /isolinux/adtxt.cfg
For all other variants I added (from all 8 combinations of 16.04 / 14.04.4, amd64 / i386, and server / desktop) the files are correctly there.

I guess I could just use /casper/vmlinuz.efi from the corresponding desktop CD as for the other ISOs the MD5 sums for /casper/vmlinuz.efi on the desktop CD is the same as for /install/vmlinuz on the server CD but I guess this should somehow be fixed - or am I missing something here?

Doesn't look like a 0-byte file to me:

Seems to be a problem with Archive Mounter (nautilus) then:

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thanks the archive mount is done by gvfs ... is that display issue your only problem there or did you have other issues with the iso?

[Frederic Beister (azamir)]

This is not a display issue there. When I copy out vmlinuz, I get a 0 byte file.
