I agree with falcojr and dbungert's analysis (#6 and #8, respectively) on cloud-init's role in this issue; this looks like a symptom that gets reported via cloud-init not an issue caused by it. ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug

I think BMC-emulated media is a strong enough use-case for servers that we should do something to address it in a future release. While I don't think many server users would be using this method for mass installs, it seems like a reasonable way to "give Ubuntu a try" on a single piece of kit. It'd
