This mailing list is for developing the next release of Ubuntu itself. Not support or discussions around the stable series. Please join <a href="http://discourse.ubuntu.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">discourse.ubuntu.com</a> to discuss Ubuntu Server installation options in the server topic - <a href="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/17" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/17</a> There you will find this thread for example <a href="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510</a> That has step by step guide on booting Ubuntu Server installer over the network. Specifically the initrd needs to know how to bring up network, i.e. "ip=dhcp" kernel cmdline option, and where to find the matching ISO for the kernel/initrd pair one is trying to launch the installer from i.e. "url=<a href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso</a>" if one is booting amd64 with the 20.04.1 media and got the vmlinuz/initrd pair from it. Please continue further discussions about the Ubuntu Server installer on <a href="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/17" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/server/17</a> On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 6:04 PM Jerry Geis <<a href="mailto:jerry.geis@gmail.com" target="_blank">jerry.geis@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > I have a current system (grub boot) that I want to replace (its not ubuntu but centos). > So there is no USB and no CD. > > I am trying to find what to put on the grub linux kernel line to boot up and install everything over teh network. > > I have autoinstall working from the USB - but I need it working from "network" only. > > I tried this: > append initrd=/casper/initrd debian-installer/language=en fsck.mode=skip splash autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=<a href="https://myip/autoinstall/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://myip/autoinstall/</a> > > but it did not work. it tries to find the cd at /dev/sr0 and never does of course. > > Is there something else I need to specify on the line ? > > Thanks > > Jerry > -- > Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list > <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> -- Regards, Dimitri. </blockquote></div>
