Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85g Followup-For: Bug #387808 think i've finally tracked this one down, unfortunately not in time for etch... *sigh*
the problem was that when NFSROOT=auto, it assumed you always needed to add the server ip. i grabbed the git branch: git clone git://git.debian.org/git/kernel/initramfs-tools.git and made this patch: --- a/scripts/nfs +++ b/scripts/nfs @@ -41,7 +41,11 @@ do_nfsmount() # get nfs root from dhcp if [ "x${NFSROOT}" = "xauto" ]; then - NFSROOT=${ROOTSERVER}:${ROOTPATH} + if [ "${ROOTPATH#*:}" = "${ROOTPATH}" ]; then + NFSROOT=${ROOTSERVER}:${ROOTPATH} + else + NFSROOT=${ROOTPATH} + fi # nfsroot=[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[,<nfs-options>] elif [ -n "${NFSROOT}" ]; then # nfs options are an optional arg with it you can specify the server ip as part of root-path with dhcp, so: option root-path "192.168.1.101:/opt/ltsp/i386"; or: option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; both work as expected with dhcp3-server (and presumably other dhcp servers). with this patch, or something similar applied, i think we can finally close this bug for real :) live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
