Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
I'm trying to PXE boot LiveCD Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 or Hardy 8.04.1 with no success so far.
Running installer through PXE works perfectly.

Problem seems to occur at do_netmount() (line 168) in /scripts/casper
have no idea how to bring eth0 up. There is no eth0 in /dev/ directory.
I'm stuck. Please help.

Ok, I managed to get it working for me now.
Problems seems still exist in casper / kvm-pxe packages.
I'm using virt-manager, I followed instructions in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ kvm/+bug/ 193531
Mine solution:
<interface type='bridge'> '00:16: 36:11:d7: 8f'/>
<mac address=
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='vnet1'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
i had to replace model to:
<model type='rtl8139'/>
And it worked. eth0 was discovered and Gnome environment has loaded.
I had problems with:
- e1000 didn't get through PXE boot (it was unable to read informations from DHCP server, altrough server was passing it by DHCPOFFER)
- ne2k_pci - hanged right after:
[ OK ]

after that host stopped to answer (tcpdump reported only ARP whois for virtual machine from host server).
