Just wanted to start before filing the actual bug.
That i have enjoyed a lot to setup netboot.xyz.
And the many aopportunities it brings with it.

Describe the bug
When choosing Live CDs and then Ubuntu->Ubuntu Live 22.04->Ubuntu 22.04 Lxqt
The Live environment loads without hitch.
But when trying to install it fails with.

The source filesystem "/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs" does not exist.

Image of the error below

To Reproduce

  1. Choose Live CDs and then Ubuntu -> Ubuntu Live 22.04 -> Ubuntu 22.04 Lxqt
  2. Choose install, then i choose BTRFS as filesystem. (Not sure if that is important)

Expected behavior
The installer should continue the install without leading to a crash.

Screenshots
Netboot xyz Lubuntu LXqt fails with missing squashfs and crdom - Skærmbillede 2024-01-12 103449

Additional context
Ubuntu KDE and GNOME works without a problem and BTRFS as filesystem.

Hope you can reproduce it and find a possible fix.
Best Regards,
Darkyere

@indigomirage commented on GitHub (Jan 16, 2024):

I have found similar issues with live version of Ubuntu 23.10 gnome editions.

In my case, the error I get is...

"/cow format specified as 'overlay' but no support found". Then it exits to the initramfs shell.
(this is when attempting via libvirt - other distros like Debian work.

When running from virtual box, it just goes on an endless loop, saying no interfaces have a carrier.

(Debian works fine)
