This modules needed for network installation over ib_ipoib.

To check if the modules aren't exist run:
# lsinitrd install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | grep infiniband

[2] - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/trusty/daily/current/
[3] - ib_addr, ib_core, ib_cm, ib_sa, mlx4_core, mlx4_ib, mlx5_core, mlx5_ib, ib_mad, ib_ipoib

Brian,

Someone from foundations and/or HWE team should assume this bug.

Thanks for the report! Since Trusty is no longer supported, except for security fixes, I'll mark this LP as Won't Fix - if it reproduces in newer Ubuntu releases, please let us know.

By the way, maybe using kernel 4.4 (HWE) has a fix for this even in Trusty.
Cheers,

Guilherme
