description |
Attempting to use PXE to install 16.04 results in an error dialog that states "The failing step is: Install the system". Checking syslog shows that it has prefixed the URL to the filesystem.squashfs with "/cdrom" and failed to find the file.
base-installer: info: Downloading /cdromhttp://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs to /tmp/live-installer/filesystem.squashfs
Setting the path to the filesystem.squashfs by either the "append" option in the PXE default file, or as a preseed option in the kickstart file both have the same result.
My PXE menu option:
LABEL Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop
MENU LABEL Xenial 16.04 Desktop
KERNEL 1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
append vga=normal ks=http://192.168.1.251/ks-1604-64-desktop.cfg initrd=1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz live-installer/net-image=http://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs biosdevname=0
I found a changelog for live-installer 51ubuntu1 dated 4/18/16 that states it strips /cdrom/ prefix from all places, but this does not appear to be happening. The log line points to base-installer rather than live-installer as the cause.
This is from the 16.04 server release ISO, running base-installer_1.158ubuntu2_amd64 and live-installer_51ubuntu2_amd64
I would expect that locating the live-installer filesystem.squashfs would not prefix the specified URL with /cdrom. Previous versions of Ubuntu did not do this. |
[Impact]
This impacts any network installs specifying live-installer/net-image (ie. using live-installer to install using a squashfs instead of debootstrap)
[Test case]
1) Boot on netinstall image to grub menu; it 'e' for edit;
2) Add 'live-installer/net-image=http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/xenial/daily/current/xenial-server-amd64.squashfs' to the linux line.
3) Hit F10 to boot with the changes.
Installation should complete successfully.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal; this is meant to fix a bug that was introduced that currently breaks all uses of net-image that don't use a path relative to /cdrom, which used to be possible; and only enforces the proper handling of URIs as absolute paths instead of prepending them with '/cdrom'. URI-like syntax in typical filesystem paths is not something that is supported.
