Call for Testing: Ubuntu Server Quantal

[George Dunlap]

I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to *actually report a
bug* on launchpad, and I give up.

The netboot images for amd64 appear to be broken -- they don't work on
either of my two test boxes (one an AMD, one an Intel).  The AMD
hangs, the Intel reboots.  Below is the config I'm using:

label ubuntu-quantal-amd64
	kernel ubuntu-quantal-amd64/linux
        append vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-quantal-amd64/initrd.gz -- quiet

The files in question were just downloaded today:

-rw-r--r--   1 mikemc xendev 9306616 Sep 20 16:39 initrd.gz
-rw-r--r--   1 mikemc xendev 5127712 Sep 20 16:39 linux
