--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85h Severity: normal Tags: patch If I want several computers to boot from the same ramdisk (with NFS root) and some computers have multiple network interfaces, the DEVICE variable can't be set to a specific value (e.g. eth0). Ipconfig from klibc supports a mode, where DHCP request is sent to all interfaces and the one receiving the first DHCP offer is used. This perfectly suits my needs, but it can't be used with initramfs scripts because the interface name in not known in advance and the DEVICE variable is set to something like ::::::. I have used the following patch to solve it: --- initramfs-tools-0.85h.orig/scripts/nfs 2008-02-22 21:47:43.000000000 +0100 +++ initramfs-tools-0.85h/scripts/nfs 2008-02-22 21:48:48.000000000 +0100 @@ -36,8 +36,9 @@ ;; esac - # source relevant ipconfig output - . /tmp/net-${DEVICE}.conf + # source ipconfig output (if DEVICE refers to multiple + # interfaces we don't know the exact name) + . /tmp/net-*.conf # get nfs root from dhcp if [ "x${NFSROOT}" = "xauto" ]; then The bug is also present in unstable, but I didn't test this patch: --- initramfs-tools-0.91e.orig/scripts/functions 2008-02-22 20:15:06.000000000 +0100 +++ initramfs-tools-0.91e/scripts/functions 2008-02-22 20:20:10.000000000 +0100 @@ -302,6 +302,7 @@ ;; esac - # source relevant ipconfig output - . /tmp/net-${DEVICE}.conf + # source ipconfig output (if DEVICE refers to multiple + # interfaces we don't know the exact name) + . /tmp/net-*.conf } Please note, that Debian version of klibc-utils contains a bug (see http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-February/002209.html) so I use a patched version.
