[Bug 2022856] Re: Ubuntu 22.04 Server Autoinstall Traceback crash trying to install packages

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Oh right, there are no disks other than the install ISO in your VM.
Where are you expecting the install to go? If you want to overwrite the
install media you can put "toram" on the kernel command line, which will
copy the ISO to ram and make the install media available. This does
require a fairly large amount of RAM though.

Title:
  Ubuntu 22.04 Server Autoinstall Traceback crash  trying to install
  packages

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Autoinstall installation crashes with this error when using a local
  iso cidata containing the user-data on arm64. This exact same user-
  data and package selection works on Ubuntu 22.04 installations on
  x86_64 with user-data served over http:

  Reproduce this easily on any new Mac M1/M2 from my public GitHub repo
  where the autoinstall user data and Hashicorp Packer config is for
  100% reproducibility:

  git clone https://github.com/HariSekhon/Packer-templates pack
  cd pack
  make install tart  # Tart is only for new ARM processor Macs M1/M2
  make ubuntu-tart  # downloads the arm64 ISO, creates the cidata iso image with autoinstall user-data, and then run packer to do the build

  On an x86_64 system with VirtualBox installed you can see the same
  exact autoinstall user-data served over http working to install on the
  same version of Ubuntu 22.04:

  git clone https://github.com/HariSekhon/Packer-templates pack
  cd pack
  make install vbox  # run only on Mac to install packer and virtualbox, otherwise install them yourself
  make ubuntu-vbox
