Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Good Day,

breezy netinstall (TFTP) works fine.

I have download
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

and extract it in the tftpd root directory.

Target computer boot fine, I choose server installation mode, select language and keyboard (french), DHCP works fine and then I've got an error message : An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive.

In the logs I found :
Configuring 'choose-mirror' failed with error code 134.

Restarting choose-mirror doesn't solved the problem.

Same problem If I don't choose server at boot.

I'd be happy to provide more info or test something if it could help.

Regards.

Please attach the full /var/log/syslog file to this bug. You can extract it from the running installer by going back to the installer main menu and selecting "save debug logs".

Problem is that /bin/choose-mirror tries to fetch the Release file from a remote mirror location. (This behavior is hard-coded)

I work with preseed files, netinstall over tftp-hpa, apache2 (own repository, with month freezes) and in spite of the fact that I give the mirror in the preseed file, choose-mirror tries elsewhere :

d-i mirror/http/hostname string 10.110.22.20
d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu
d-i mirror/suite string dapper

d-i mirror/http/proxy string

d-i time/zone string Europe/Zurich
