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

[Christian Tucker]

The Nathaniel Priddy solution worked for me to - adding

d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-4.4.0-142-generic

to the preseed file just after the keyboard entry.... however I now have
a new issue.

When Grub loads it lists Ubuntu, Windows, Ubuntu 16.4.0"

If I select ubuntu it loads no problem - if I select Ubuntu 16.4 then it
crashes when loading

I think this is because ubuntu is expecting a different kernel version -
the problem is I have no idea how to fix that!

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.
