@Eric, i just tested what you suggested at your comment #31 with Ubuntu 18.10 release ... KERNEL http://pxe-server/nfs/ubuntu-x64/casper/vmlinuz INITRD http://pxe-server/nfs/ubuntu-x64/casper/initrd APPEND nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/nfs/ubuntu-x64 ro netboot=nfs file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper systemd.mask=dev-hugepages.mount -- debian-installer/language=de console-setup/layoutcode=de keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=de keyboard-configuration/variant=German
... but then i again run straight into emergency console. (not sure, if that information still is helpful) at the moment "systemd.mask=tmp.mount" still is the best solution. but with the issues of: - having few red "FAILED" messages at boot time; - at reboot/poweroff often run into "stop jobs" are running endless at shutting down; - or hangs for ever at "Starting Shuts down the 'live' preinstalled system clearly..."; the second best solution is "toram", there i never observed the issues of any "FAILED" message and never hat the issues at reboot/poweroff (maybe there are race conditions - "toram" nothing has to be loaded fron nfs via network). but "toram" takes a lot of time, because the whole squashfs-image has to be loaded into ram first, before it can be mounted. BTW: lununtu 18.10 shows the same behavior as ubuntu 18.10, but it does not show up the issues with reboot/poweroff hanging or endles running stop jobs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755863 Title: netbooting the bionic live CD over NFS goes straight to maintenance mode : To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1755863/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
