Hi

I'm using ESXi 6.7 and would like to install ubuntu 20.04 automatically.
During the preseed installation the installer get in stuck at partitioning
the VM.

So, partitioning is not done. I don't know where to find further logs about
why I does not preceed.

I will share screen shot within the next reply.

Any input kindly appreciated!
Andrea

This is where I'm getting in stuck...


So, the installer hangs here...


Some time later "waiting for ssh" times out and the VM is getting destroyed.

Preseed.cfg configuration snip of the partitioning part:
# Partitioning
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true

Thx for help!
