  @wayne-workman Yeah, I was trying to address an issue I was seeing the wrong way. It would be much cleaner to just do a split horizon dns to address the issue.

  @sebastian-roth It seems here is a misunderstanding, the official Ubuntu 16.04 kernel I tested was not from installation DVD, but from an installed system.

  I tested the kernel+initrd of installation DVD, it’s similar to kernels built by you, say about 50% failed.

  The installed kernel is not same as installation DVD. The installed kernel + initrd-ubuntu.xz has about 75% successful rate in 20 times reboot.

  I tried to PXE boot the installed kernel (/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-62-generic) and initrd (/boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-62-generic), but the rootfs failed to mount. I uploaded screen capture screen-capture-rootfs-failed.jpg https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx_soHaLoSYETXhEeUVBRVllNVE

  It seems the handler of reboot/shutdown is different in your initrd and Ubuntu initrd. The Ubuntu reboot/shutdown is handled by systemctl. Now I wonder if my reboot/shutdown issue is a kind of system-level issue, both kernel/drivers/utilities have their roles.

  How can I use the initrd of the installed Ubuntu in PXE? I think this may have a good chance to resolve my issue.

  You didn’t do anything wrong sir. I didn’t fully understand the question and mistook the request.
