Yes. When you PXE boot, the kernel and initramfs comes from the netboot image that you downloaded in the past, but the archive will be different after a point release which can result in the installer's failure to load certain essential modules like filesystems. So in my experience every time there is a point release you need to re-download the netboot images that you are serving over PXE as well. > Are the PXE installers known to be a little flaky? I've got along with them okay as long as I remember to download a new one after every point release. I'm not 100% sure this is OP's problem (the Ubuntu reference is alarming), but if I was OP I'd certainly try doing that first. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
