[Bug 1528956] Re: netinst produces an unusable system

[Martin Pitt]

Please check the boot options, they might  contain something  like
"vt.handoff" or a nonexisting "console=". Please also boot without
"quiet" and "splash" and check if you get gettys on VT1 to 6. If not,
please boot with "systemd.debug-shell", switch to Ctrl+Alt+F9, and do
something like "journalctl -b > /root/journal.txt", and attach
journal.txt here. Thanks!

Title:
  netinst produces an unusable system

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  for various reasons of history:
  /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 (was precise?  md5sum is 94fa5add303db869b79cba07449127c2)
  /var/lib/tftpboot/xenial is a directory into which xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz was unpacked.  (md5sum of the tarball: 8d7b64c36776fe708210e8ef6deee852)
  /var/lib/tftpboot/xenial-amd64{,-initrd.gz} are copies of xenial/ubuntu-installer/amd64/{linux,initrd.gz}

  /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/$HEX_IP contains:
  DISPLAY /boot-screens/boot.txt
  DEFAULT install

  LABEL install
          kernel xenial-amd64
          ipappend 2 
          append auto priority=critical netcfg/dhcp_timeout=120 locale=en_US.UTF8 console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layoutcode=us interface=auto netcfg/get_hostname=foo netcfg/get_domain=example.com mirror/http/proxy= DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 vga=normal initrd=xenial-amd64.initrd.gz ramdisk_size=16417 root=/dev/ram rw --

  PROMPT 1
  TIMEOUT 60

  After the install finishes, the reboot shows the root filesystem fsck,
  and then nothing.

  package install differences are attached (diff xenial.netinst
  xenial.server | grep -e '[<>]')
