[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso

[Jamie Walker]

This is still completely unworkable for me. I'm installing 20.04.3 on a
rack server via the LOM, and at no time while the system was starting up
did I see anywhere I could set command line options - it went from the
firmware talking about scanning the bus to "No Signal" to the kernel
starting to boot in the space of about 3 seconds.

And even if there was a splash screen that allowed me to press a key to
set options as comments above imply there should be, it takes the
firmware in this box two and half minutes to get to the point where the
ISO is booting. So to make use of it, I'd have to be glued to my monitor
for that long to make sure I didn't miss the window of how many seconds
it's supposed to appear for. I could be spending more time waiting for
the opportunity to press a key than I would spend answering the
installer questions.

As things stands, #11 appears to be the best solution I've got and I
think that's absolutely ridiculous.

  Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It is not possible to skip the integrity test with the iso available
  at http://www.releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.1-live-server-
  amd64.iso .

  Bellow is a screenshot of me hitting CTRL+C to try to cancel it, without success:

  Checking integrity can be extremely slow when mounting an image via
  virtual CD tools from Dell idrac. I didn't measure it precisely but it
  takes more than 30 minutes.

  Since the image is on a remote location and was already checked, this
  is completely useless.
