[Bug 499140] [NEW] netcfg/get_hostname in preseed.cfg file doesn't work on Karmic

[Yufei]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pxe

PXE+preseed.cfg auto install the Karmic Server.

In preseed.cfg file, we can set
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string myhost
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string mydomain.com

but the netcfg/get_hostname doesn't work, the system will still set it's hostname to "ubuntu"
netcfg/get_domain works

If add the netcfg/get_hostname at the append link in the pxe menu, it
works. like following:

LABEL install
        kernel ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
        append vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz auto=true priority=critical interface=eth1 netcfg/dhcp_timeout=60 netcfg/get_hostname=myhost url=http://192.168.0.1/preseed.cfg -- console=ttyS0,9600n8

** Affects: pxe (Ubuntu)
