Hi, This is an old grief of mine, too. To state the problem differently: when dhclient acquires a new lease, it flushes all network config first, which brings an NFS rooted setup down. Even if a second later the exact same network config would be set up, since the lease isn't really new, initramfs acquired it a couple of seconds earlier. It just isn't transferred from the initramfs to the running system.
A generic solution would be much needed here, see for example http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/26191/focus=1290: others also hack around this by various ways... -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
