[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1572607@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package netcfg - 1.135ubuntu4.1

---------------
netcfg (1.135ubuntu4.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * With vlan connection type, finish-install.d would decide to purge
    network configuration and writeout loopback interfaces only, due to
    the assumption that !wired, must be wireless. Write out loopback only
    config with wireless only connection type. With this change vlan
    settings propagate through to the system, after additional
    network-manager changes were added. LP: #1567687

  * When DHCP is disabled via preseed, do not ask the DHCP question on
    s390x by propagating the seen flags from preseed-only keys to the
    interactive question. This is a side-effect / regression from
    1.135ubuntu3. LP: #1572607

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * on s390x only, priority of dhcp question was lowered which resulted
  in a buggy behaviour for unattended installs. Without this fix it's
  not possible to complete unattended install as the installer "stalls"
  at dhcp question.

  [Test Case]

   * Install unattended s390x machine with dchp
   * Install unattended s390x machine without dhcp (static netcfg)

  [Regression Potential]

   * Changes to resolve this should only affect s390x

  I am trying to install Ubuntu using a parm file so i won't get any prompts until SSH is available to connect to the guest.

  the "Auto-configure networking?" prompt keeps popping although i have
  specifically asked to turn it off.

  this used to work fine for me a week ago and i didn't even had the
  netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true in my parm file. now that i got the
  prompt (i assumed you guys fixed something) i added the
  netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true parameter but i still get the prompt.

  i am attaching the console output.

  This will affect affect IBM Wave functionality...
  IBM Wave allows the user to install Ubuntu without any need to access z/VM (Wave will do everything for you). when SSH is available the user can continue the installation. as we get the prompt in the middle of the installation the user can't continue the install as SSH is not yet available and he does not have access to the z/VM console
