Hi, =0A=
=0A=
You mean from from disk_config or somewhere else? Installer never gets that=
 far.=0A=
Last thing what is working on installer is that menu where to select "start=
 standalone installer or rescue mode etc."=0A=
=0A=
I believe it's some sort of usb driver issue and not only about FAI. =0A=
* Ubuntu 24.04.3 Desktop native installer has this issue also.=0A=
* Ubuntu 24.04.3 Server native installer works=0A=
* Debian 13 Native installer works=0A=
* Debian 13 FAI image burned to DVD and started from SATA-DVD drive works.=
=0A=
=0A=
Because Ubuntu 24.04 is officially supported by Supermicro they are also in=
vestigating issue but i haven't got any answers from them yet.=0A=
