Ubuntu PXE Installation with preseed fails at step Configuring the Package Manager. no /target directory
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have an Ubuntu 18.04 ISO with some scripts and packages added inside (Installing it from a USB works fine)
When running a PXE installation with preseed it fails with this message:
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again
from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step
is: Configure the package manager
In syslog I see:
Feb 11 12:55:15 main-menu[345]: (process:7319): chroot: can't change
root directory to '/target': No such file or directory Feb 11 12:55:15
main-menu[345]: WARNING **: Configuring 'apt-setup-udeb' failed with
error code 1
In the shell I can see that /target doesn't exist and /dev/sda1 isn't repartitioned.
Here is the full syslog
