Pxe boot ubuntu server - corrupt packages
- by Stu2000
I have set up a cobbler pxe boot server and managed to get centos5.8 to fully automatically install.
Unfortunately with Ubuntu 12.04-server-i386, it stops mid-way through with a message stating that packages are corrupt. I tried following this tip to unzip the Packages.gz file which results in an empty Packages file with nothing in it. Other people suggested doing a touch command which essentially does the exact same thing, an empty Packages file. That results in me getting a different message that states:
Couldn't retrieve dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/Packages. This
may be due to a network.....
Does anyone know how to work around this issue? Hitting continue before having made the tip/workaround resulted in ubuntu installing fine, but I need to be able to provide no manual input.
Any advice appreciated,
Stu
