All you need to do is to upgrade your mkinitrd / nash version to the latest development version. Mkinitrd has the support for determining the dhcp root-path option since 6.0.10-1. 1. Install latest mkinitrd / nash >= 6.0.10-1 2. Make sure your root-filesystem entry in "/etc/fstab" includes the mount-option "dhcp" 3. Install a kernel rpm. This will give you a nfs root enabled initrd. example /etc/fstab entry: 10.10.10.10:/nfsexportdir/10.20.20.20 / nfs rw,dhcp 1 1 If your build system is different from your live system you'll have to run mkinird separately. You also have to specify the location of your "desired" fstab by using the option --fstab=<fstab> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248575 Jochen _______________________________________________ Stateless-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/stateless-list
