[Bug 1816846] Re: segfault in libc-2.23.so netinstall installation pxe

[mdes at hp.com]

I see this problem with the following initrd/kernel (I'm unable to trace
the provenance of these files to their upstream sources):

$ sha1sum linux initrd.gz 
6b11ddcba0f9a8a8dd1322e8c21ca185a7ac068e  linux
8bf4a099d764b8b1482c590fd9081610079c4378  initrd.gz


I can also confirm that switching to use initrd/kernel from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/, as mwhudson suggests above, works for me.

Thanks for the pointer.

Title:
  segfault in libc-2.23.so netinstall installation pxe

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have implemented a PXE server in Virtualbox 6.0.4 to perform
  automatic installations of different versions of Linux (particularly
  Ubuntu).

  Until a few hours ago I could perform the automatic installation of
  Ubuntu Server 16.04.5 on a VM, but after updating libc6-udeb
  (2.23-0ubuntu11), I get the following error:

  kernel: [  186.927962] sh[8177]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fc21ff438df sp
  00007ffe594a5e80 error 4 in libc-2.23.so[7fc21ff23000+1c0000]

  I don't know how to fetch the installation log, so I attach a
  screenshot.
