Bug Description
network installing xenial ubuntu is failing for myself and other people (as seen on the #ubuntu irc channel).
I had this issue both with and without preseed. I am using the latest netboot kernel and initrd files from http://
The latest version available from the above URL is 4.4.0-142 and the installer fails while installing 4.4.0-143. The following error messages seen during installation:

After having these issue with a preseed file, I started a PXE install without any preseed ( therefore answering the standard installer questions manually) but I still had the same error.
I was told in the #ubuntu irc channel to set :
d-i base-installer/
in my preseed file. This worked and the installer completed correctly without any failures. Previously my preseed file container:
d-i base-installer/
but as I said above, even without a preseed file the error occured.
One thought - shouldn't a 4.4.0-143 netboot kernel / initrd be on http://
