Ubuntu autoinstall is started at 2023-09-25-11-09-48

Steps:
1) Create VM with serial port in ESXi

2) Customize ISO ubuntu-23.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso to support autoinstall with attached file user-data.j2
   (Note: the variable {{ xxx }} will be replaced in file user-data.js before customize ISO)

3) Mount the customized ISO file

4) Poweron VM, it begins autoinstall

5) check output from serial output, find lots of error message

Expected:
For steps 5, won't hit lots of error "adlink /snap/subiquity/current: no such file or directory"

Thanks yhzou and keiraqiz!

Could you share the steps you used to customize ubuntu-23.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso please?

Also are you able to install the image manually without issues?
