Public bug reported: I always use the method from https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/get- the-debianubuntu-ready-and-customized-the-way-you-like-in-10-minutes/ to do automatic Ubuntu net installation. It works all the way from 2012-04 to 2014-04, but not 2014-10 -- the netboot stopped at “Creating ext3 file system for /” and did not go any further.
My net install environment is Virtualbox. For 2014-10, I tried three times, and the last time is right after a fresh PC reboot, with nothing else running. Once again, the automatic net install method is from https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/get-the-debianubuntu-ready-and- customized-the-way-you-like-in-10-minutes/, it's always been the same.
