@Derek Gibson I have no issue using the HWE mini.iso to accomplish the same thing ... I'd just rather not start building "standard 16.04 workstations" that are using the HWE kernel ...
Though give it another day or so and that might not look too bad anymore .... @rcgop ... Yes, there are whole other discussions ongoing regarding breakages in NVIDIA drivers, virtualbox, etc ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820366 Title: network install of xenial 16.04 fails with linux-generic package error Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: network installing xenial ubuntu is failing for myself and other people (as seen on the #ubuntu irc channel). I had this issue both with and without preseed. I am using the latest netboot kernel and initrd files from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/ ( I re-downloaded and checked the file digest). The latest version available from the above URL is 4.4.0-142 and the installer fails while installing 4.4.0-143.

I was told in the #ubuntu irc channel to set : d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-4.4.0-142-generic in my preseed file. This worked and the installer completed correctly without any failures. Previously my preseed file container: d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-generic but as I said above, even without a preseed file the error occured. One thought - shouldn't a 4.4.0-143 netboot kernel / initrd be on http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot ? Maybe the issue would go away if those files were available for us to place on our PXE servers.
