Hi, After further investigations, it seems that the bug is related to: > Jan 21 08:02:09 kernel: [ 0.000000] Command line: > BOOT_IMAGE=/install.amd/vmlinuz vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- > quiet preseed/url=http://10.0.2.2:8000/preseed.cfg auto locale=en_US > kbd-chooser/method=us netcfg/get_hostname=localhost > netcfg/get_domain=localdomain fb=false debconf/frontend=noninteractive > console-setup/ask_detect=false console-keymaps-at/keymap=us > keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap=us Which is a bit stupid: instead of passing many parameters on the cmdline, we could just use 'auto url=....' Still, there's a regression in d-i, when installing with install preseed/url=https://blop.info/pub/preseed.cfg With debian-buster-DI-alpha4-amd64-netinst.iso, the installer asks questions about language, location, keyboard, hostname, and domainname, but then proceeds until the end of the installation (which is expected). With the current debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso, the installer asks the same questions, proceeds with the installation, but then, near the end, asks the 'Use a network mirror?' question as described in this bug.
