I am using preseed to install ubuntu 16.04 and I have a setup that works fine with the regular ubuntu mirror if I specify
d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com
d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu
I have now been given a specific mirror to use in place of archive.ubuntu.com so I have changed those lines to
d-i mirror/http/hostname string <comapany-domain>.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
d-i mirror/http/directory string /
I'm now seeing an error that says "Architecture not supported, The specified Ubuntu archive mirror does not seen to support your architecture. Please try a different mirror."
The mirror is hosted on s3 and the directory structure looks like
dists/
xenial/
main/
binary-amd64/
Packages.bz2
Packages.gz
Release
contents-amd64.gz
InRelease
Release
Release.gpg
pool/
main/
a/
b/
c/
.....
Note that there is no /ubuntu/ folder which is why I specify "directory string /" I'm pretty sure this is correct because with anything else in that line I see a different error "bad archive mirror"
I'm comparing with http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and there are some extra directories such as indices, project, ubuntu.
Why does it not recognize dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64 as the correct architecture?
I have also confirmed that the same error appears when I try a manual install without the preseed configuration.
