[Bug 1718652] Re: d-i not working in artful - 'Choose Language' ff

The current version of the Linux kernel in artful is 4.13.0-11.12.  The
current version of the d-i netboot image in artful is built against
4.13.0-11.12.  This is the devel series; we do not keep old kernels
around in the archive for compatibility with older netboot images.  You
need to update to the current netboot image.

  ... and selecting "Choose language" nothing seems to happen.

  When the selecting the following messages are printed to the syslog:
