I'm observing a similar error while trying to use netboot images http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer- armel/current/images/omap/netboot/ on beagleXM rev C.
I initially tried loading preseed.cfg from the network and it did not work. Log is available at http://pastebin.com/jzTVG5Sf I then added preseed.cfg to the uInitrd image but that did not work either. Logs with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer flag is available at http://pastebin.com/yriArCPb I'm not sure if the problem is due to my proxy but if I use an Ubuntu PC on the same network and with the same proxy, I can get to ports.ubuntu.com as shown below @@ wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/Release --2012-04-25 12:48:46-- http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/Release Resolving webproxy.ext.ti.com... 192.91.66.189, 192.94.92.11, 192.94.92.14, ...
