I'm encountering an issue using the autoinstall feature on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS. My goal is to deploy a system with a custom storage layout, but the autoinstall process fails during the storage configuration phase. I’m using the following YAML snippet for the configuration:
grub:
reorder_uefi: false
storage:
config:
# Initialize disk and BIOS GRUB partition
- grub_device: true
id: disk-sda
path: /dev/sda
ptable: gpt
type: disk
wipe: superblock-recursive
- device: disk-sda
flag: bios_grub
id: grub-part
number: 1
size: 1M
type: partition
# EFI System Partition
- device: disk-sda
id: efi-part
number: 2
size: 512M
type: partition
- fstype: fat32
id: efi-fs
type: format
volume: efi-part
- device: efi-fs
id: efi-mount
path: /boot/efi
type: mount
# 4 GB swap partition
- device: disk-sda
id: swap-part
number: 3
size: 4G
type: partition
- fstype: swap
id: swap-fs
type: format
volume: swap-part
- device: swap-fs
id: swap-mount
path: none
type: mount
# 100 GB root partition
- device: disk-sda
id: root-part
number: 4
size: 100G
type: partition
- fstype: ext4
id: root-fs
type: format
volume: root-part
- device: root-fs
id: root-mount
path: /
type: mount
# 50 GB home partition
- device: disk-sda
id: home-part
number: 5
size: 50G
type: partition
- fstype: ext4
id: home-fs
type: format
volume: home-part
- device: home-fs
id: home-mount
path: /home
type: mount
I have verified that /dev/sda is correct for the target disk, and I specifically configured both a BIOS GRUB (with a bios_grub partition) and an EFI System partition. Despite that, the installer does not complete successfully and stops during the storage configuration step.
Any insights, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I've verified that the rest of my autoinstall file works perfectly by just using:
storage:
layout:
name: lvm
However, I want to specifically configure the storage to the above configuration.
