I am trying to auto install debian buster with ipxe, it seems that the boot parameters don't work in the ipxe menu. I always get the language section. So the preseed isn't loaded. Here is the relevant entry in the ipxe menu:
:d10-dc-node
set base-url https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/debian-installer/amd64
kernel ${base-url}/linux
initrd ${base-url}/initrd.gz
imgargs linux vga=normal root=/dev/ram rw preseed/url=tftp://my.ipxe.server/preseed/debian_buster_node.seed netcfg/choose_interface=eno1 debian-installer/framebuffer=false debian-installer/locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us auto-install/enable=true debconf/frontend=noninteractive debconf/priority=critical console-setup/ask_detect=false keyboard-configuration/modelcode=pc105 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us keyboard-configuration/variant=USA hostname=ubuntu ---
and here is the preseed part:
### Keyboard
d-i console-setup/ask_detect boolean false
d-i keyboard-configuration/layout select USA
d-i keyboard-configuration/variant select USA
d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select en
d-i keyboard-configuration/layout string English
### Locales
d-i debian-installer/country string DE
d-i debian-installer/language string en
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8
d-i localechooser/supported-locales multiselect en_US.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8
When I try to set the base-url to http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64
it works fine until loading the modules, then I get the following error: "No kernel modules were found"
, which I guess because of the different Kernel versions.

the only problem I still have is that the preseed is not being loaded!? – Max Mar 29 '19 at 15:13
