[Bug 1705137] Re: ACPI platform nics names change after install

[Adam Conrad]

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debian-installer into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-
installer/20101020ubuntu451.13 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

Title:
  ACPI platform nics names change after install

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in debian-installer source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  systemd in xenial-proposed has support for predictable network
  interfaces names for ACPI-described platform devices. However, the
  latest d-i in xenial-proposed was built with the previous systemd
  upload. This has a nasty side-effect that the NICs will have one name
  during install (e.g. eth1) but, after reboot, will have a different
  name (e.g. enahisic1). Further, if you used one of these NICs as your
  install interface, the network will fail to come up post-install.
