[Bug 2034566] Re: ubuntu-installer tries to download ISO before DHCP finishes

[Drew Weaver]

This is what ipxe is loading but that shouldn't really matter given that
this exact same process works on 8 other Dell server models.

:ubuntu22
kernel Ubuntu22.04/vmlinuz ksdevice=bootif autoinstall ks=http://10.1.0.1/Ubuntu/ks1604.cfg ip=dhcp url=http://10.1.0.1/uefi/Ubuntu22.04/ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso ds=nocloud-net;s=http
://10.1.0.1/Ubuntu20/ initrd=initrd rootdelay=20
initrd Ubuntu22.04/initrd  
boot

Can anyone explain why nobody has looked at this yet?

Title:
  ubuntu-installer tries to download ISO before DHCP finishes

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I am trying to install Ubuntu 22.04 via ipxe on a Dell R660xs.

  When the system boots up it tries to download the ubuntu-server ISO
  before the NIC gets done coming up.

  I've tried adding bootdelay=1000 nicdelay=1000, etc etc to the kernel
  line but no matter what it always tries to download the ISO before the
  NIC is done getting an IP address.

  This only happens on this hardware as far as I know. I've tried
  reporting this as a bug but busybox doesn't have ubuntu-bug.
