[Bug 1816680] [NEW] Trying to install 18.04.02 over NFS

[Ronald Roeleveld]

Public bug reported:

I've just setup an PXE server combined with NFS to install various distros.
I had some problems booting Ubuntu 18.04.02 because it always went to maintenance mode. After reading here that this is a know bug I added "systemd.mask=tmp.mount" to the APPEND line.

Altough this allows me to boot, the installation crashes at some point,
see my log file below.

Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

The PXE/NFS server is running Ubuntu 18.04.02 and both the client and
server are running on VMWare ESXI 6.7.

My apologies if this has been posted before.

Kind regards.
