My cobbler 2.4.0 test install of Ubuntu 12.10 desktop x86_64 and server x86_64
both failed at "Install the system step".
For desktop: the complain is a corrupted Packages.gz. The complain persisted
even after I mounted the original iso, and copied the Packages.gz to the
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-x86_64/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64
For server: the complain (from reading Alt-F4) are the following:
[...][...] main-menu[380]: INFO: Menu item 'live-installer' selected[...]
base-installer: error: Could not find any live images[...] main-menu[380]:
WARNING **: Configuring 'live-installer' failed with error code 1[...]
main-menu[380]: WARNING **: Menu item 'live-installer' failed.
Getting Ubuntu to PXE boot seems to be a black art with the regular cobbler, as
new as 2.4.0.
Perhaps one way to do it is to install Ubuntu's cobbler (2.2.2), run its
cobbler-ubuntu-import bash shell script, create the
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ubuntu-12.10-{desktop,server}-x86_64 subdirectories,
and then scp the resulting subdirectory to my SL 6.3 based cobbler server
running 2.4.0!
If anyone who has succeeded PXE booting Ubuntu 12.10, whether desktop or
server, it would be great if you could outline what you did to get things
going.
