[Bug 1492002] [NEW] 15.10 beta1 netboot code not working

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hi,

for ages I am using a network PXE server and a script to configure the
PXE server for every ubuntu version I am using, both the AMD64 and i386
code. For all releases my PXE server is configured the very same way,
using the same script to download netboot and image from ubuntu. Worked
well for ages.

Now I have a brendnew Asrock BeeBox N3150, and to install it I was
trying to step from 14.04 to 15.10 beta 1.

But both AMD64 and i386 netboot codes for 15.10 beta 1 are not working.
BIOS boot code says FTP BOOT: ... pxelinux.0 and shows a single dot and
then completely hangs.

It, on the other hand, perfectly works with the 14.04 boot code.

The pxelinux.0 coming with the netboot differs i nsize:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26720 Apr 15  2014 14.04-amd64/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26720 Apr 15  2014 14.04-i386/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:35 15.10-amd64/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:36 15.10-i386/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0

So it looks as if the pxelinux.0 is somewhat broken in 15.10 beta1

regards
Hadmut
