[Bug 1821351] Re: PXE booted debian-installer fails to install package 'linux-generic' in Xenial

[Sami Niemimäki]

** Package changed: ubuntu => debian-installer (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => New

** Description changed:

  Preseeded PXE install fails to install kernel package 'linux-generic'.
  This happens with the preseed we have had in production for a long period of time, as well as with an example file found from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
  
- I'm filing this against the 'linux-generic' -package, because the exact
- same preseed works just fine, if we override the kernel image to 'linux-
- generic-hwe-16.04'.
+ This might be a kernel bug or a bug in package dependencies, because the
+ exact same preseed works just fine, if we override the kernel image to
+ 'linux-generic-hwe-16.04'.
  
  The kernel and initrd used in the PXE are from the latest netboot.tar.gz
  in here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main
  /installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
