Public bug reported: When doing an unattended pxe installation with either lucid or natty, after the pxe kernel and initrd are loaded and the network is configured via dhcp the machine has a valid ip and gateway, but the static route is not configured.
After adding the route in the console (you have to do this quickly) the installation loads the seed file and finishes the installation properly. After the instalation has finished and rebooted the dhcp conifguration does add the static route properly. So this is only the case if you use the images for netbooting with pxe. I've noticed this on Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Release: 10.04 running amd64 and i386 versions and on Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 also running amd64 and i386 versions I've downloaded the pxe kernel and initrd from : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ The same goes for natty : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ I've dug through the bugs reported and it seems this bug has been fixed several times in the past, but somehow the pxe kernel and initrd images seem to have slipped through and have not been fixed as well. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842511 Title: pxe install ignore classless-static-routes code 121 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/842511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
