I can confirm that the Trusty vivid-netboot image booted/installed correctly over a SolarFlare SFN7122F card: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/main/installer-amd64/current/images/vivid-netboot/netboot.tar.gz
TEST CASE: 1. Unpack netboot.tar.gz into TFTP directory 2. Configure DHCP server so that test server will be directed to request 'pxelinux.0' from the TFTP server 3. PXE boot the test server (Dell R610), selecting the SolarFlare interface 4. Proceed through install script. When selecting a mirror for downloads, specify the required HTTP proxy address 5. Continue through rest of install script. Specify a unique hostname. 6. Reboot test server and check that installation is successful (i.e. boots up with correct hostname) VERIFICATION DONE Test server has Ubuntu installed on its local hard disk and can boot locally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-lts-utopic in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1481490 Title: Add sfc to nic-modules udeb Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in debian-installer source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in debian-installer source package in Vivid: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Vivid: Invalid Bug description: == [Trusty][Vivid]SRU Justification == It is being requested that we add the sfc driver to the nic-modules udeb to facilitate PXE booting nodes with Solarflare network adapters. == Fix == Add the sfc driver to our nic-modules udeb.
