Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu 17.04 server on a Cisco UCS configured to boot from
iSCSI with a static IP addresses. I ran through the standard
installation, configured the network interface with a manually assigned
IP address, logged in to the iSCSI target and configured the disk
partitioning from there. Everything went fine, then I rebooted, the
boot reached the point where it said "Begin: Mounting root file system",
then it began looping with messages "IP-Config: no response after x
seconds - giving up".
I fixed the problem by editing first the grub commands, then
/etc/default/grub (after I got the system to boot), adding a kernel
option to set the IP address manually:
ip=10.250.1.108::10.250.1.254:255.255.255.0:blade8:enp10s0:off
The installation script probably needs to add something like this, since
the network has to be configured in order to load the root filesystem.
