Comment 19 for bug 234486

Me too already managed to install a 8.04 via a local mirror successfully in the past, but also have problems now.

I replaced the original linux and initrd.gz on our provisioning server - taken from the netboot directory at the time - (where I can also confirm this libntfs-3g23-udeb error occurs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824576) by the hardy-proposed ones, and then also get 'No kernel modules were found...'.

1. Could you please tell me where to put exactly the apt-setup/proposed=true thing ? We use a self-made kind of auto-provisioning sytem - so this is a custom solution - but kernel stuff seems to be written here:
root@hb1590:/Storage/tftproot/kernels/x86/ubuntu-8.04# more /Storage/tftproot/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-2f-ad-8b
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 30

label linux
    kernel kernels/x86/ubuntu-8.04/linux "apt-setup/proposed=true" <<<------- I added this manually, with or without quotes
    append initrd=kernels/x86/ubuntu-8.04/initrd.gz ksdevice=eth0 lang= text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168 noipv6 ks=http://192.168.133.240/ks/cfg/ks-00-0c-29-2f-ad-8b-ubuntu-8.04.cfg
label local
    localboot 0x80
I still get the 'No kernel modules were found...'

2. When I 'continue' on this screen, eventually I get "No root file sytem is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu". I tried this on a physica Dell server AND on a virtual machine. Anyone had this error ? It does not happen with the 'old' initrd.gz and linux, if I try to 'continue' there.

 What should I try/do ? Thanks in advance.
