Title:
Autoinstall failing with errors related to OEM metapackages
Status in subiquity:
Fix Released
Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in subiquity source package in Noble:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Test system is a Dell XPS 9320 (oem-somerville-tentacool-rpl)
[Description]
Using a barebones autoinstall file:
```
#cloud-config
# autoinstall:
version: 1
interactive-sections:
- network
- identity
- storage
user-data:
(python script getting written to disk so it can run on first boot)
```
causes the 24.04.1 (no OEM metapackages present) and 24.04.2 Desktop
installers (OEM metapackages present) to fail with the following
error:
2025-03-04 18:06:24,868 DEBUG root:38 finish: subiquity/OEM/load_metapackages_list: SUCCESS:
2025-03-04 18:06:24,869 ERROR root:38 finish: subiquity/OEM/apply_autoinstall_config: FAIL: A specific kernel flavor was requested but it cannot be satistified when installing on certified hardware.
You should either disable the installation of OEM meta-packages using the following autoinstall snippet or let the installer decide which kernel to
install.
oem:
install: false
However, manually running through the installation process without the
autoinstall succeeds, and produces the following autogenerated
autoinstall file:
```
