Package: dropbear-initramfs Version: 2016.72-1 Severity: normal hi, I have configured IP=<options> in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to get the network configured by initramfs. I've tried to override the setting with ip= during boot but it doesn't seem to work, defaulting to the configuration file contents when calling 'ipconfig'.
When ran with set -x I noticed /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/dropbear sourcing /conf/initramfs.conf. This undoes the /proc/cmdline parsing done by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init earlier though and sets IP= from the config. It is easy enough to work around in the config with sth like [ -z "$IP" ] || IP="..." but not obvious at first. thanks, filippo -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
