Description

Hi,

I'm trying unattended installation / provisioning the ubuntu-14.x on bare-metal server, before posting the issue(http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16226#change-71292) here we were using an ISO Image as source and faced few issue.

Based on the issue: http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16226#change-71292 's update, We have setup the ubuntu local mirror from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/, Now i am facing the issue "Unable to install the selected kernel" (Ubuntu 14.x)

Kindly check the attached image and assist me to rectify the issue and complete the unattended installation.

Regards,
Ranjithkumar.T

I'd suggest ensuring the kernel/initrd on your TFTP server (e.g. /var/lib/tftpboot/boot) exactly match what's on the mirror, and that they're not from the ISO image you previously tried using.

Thank you for the suggestion Dominic Cleal, Based on 'Michael Moll' update in previous issue I've done the local mirror setup from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

i just use the "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" as Installation Media path instead of my local mirror, still the same error(image already attached: pkg-error.jpg) occuring on the unattended installation. Is there a solution or how to overcome / skip the issue by modifying the OS templates in foreman ?

I saw this same issue and a google search got me here. In case others see it I resolved it by changing the partition layout to "Preseed default" from "Preseed custom LVM".

Hi William Carlson,

It worked for me, Thank you so much. But i got the error in salt pkg installation, since i have place the salt minion pkg and its dependencies from: http://debian.saltstack.com/debian/ on the path( my/local/repo/ubuntu/pool/universe/ ), did i missing anything or kindly suggest me to short out this issue.
