[Bug 1504041] [NEW] Wily: Boot parameter biosdevname=0 has no effect in netboot

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When installing Ubuntu Wily (15.10) via PXE/netboot the installer does
not respect the kernel boot option biosdevname=0

Expected behaviour:
Network devices should be named eth0 etc.. (Old style)
biosdevname=0 should be a defalt boot option in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

What actually happens:
Network devices are named eno0 etc.. (New Style)
/etc/default/grub has no biosdevname=0 entry

Workaround:
add net.ifnames=0 as boot parameter will show network interfaces as eth0 etc.
but will not be enabled as default boot option.

This behaviour is not observed with Ubuntu Trusty and Vivid.

Hardware are Dell Latitude Laptops (E7450 and E6420).

Please let me know if you need further informations.

Thanks

Martin
