Bug Description
Ubuntu version: 12.10 Beta
I downloaded the netboot files "linux" and "initrd.gz" for 12.10 beta from the following URL:
And I used the following pxeconfig file:
label ubuntu-
kernel ubuntu-
append vga=normal console=
But it just crashes. I also tried downloading "netboot.tar.gz" and using the linux and initrd.gz from there. The initrd.gz is a different size; but it still crashes during boot. Unfortunately, although I have a serial console, there is no userful output. I have the same result on either an AMD box or an Intel box.
The 32-bit netboot images work just fine.
