Hi Andrew,
[...]
(1) PXE booting Ubuntu does need to use the {linux, initrd.gz} in netboot subdirectory. I finally dug out enough Ubuntu documentation on Ubuntu Web site to confirm what we have learned from trials and errors.
This makes sense. Perhaps the Ubuntu distro import needs to be updated to properly pull in the netboot kernel and ramdisk.
Indeed! This follow-up is cc-ed to James. |
Another user recently pointed me towards this github repo:
I haven't gone through all of it, but there might be more items in there that might help you out. Specifically, there are some snippets to do static networking, which I was actually working on separately from this.
I've also merged my signature branch into my master repo on github:
This is the branch I have been using to primarily test out ubuntu support, and I have done 12.04 and 12.10 successfully with it. So if you're comfortable with installing from source or if you have another system you could install it on for testing, you might want to give it a test.
