This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.142ubuntu23
---------------
initramfs-tools (0.142ubuntu23) noble; urgency=medium
[ Daniel van Vugt ]
* hooks/framebuffer: Only add simple/tiny framebuffer drivers. This is to
limit the size of initrd when FRAMEBUFFER=y is soon enabled for desktop
installations (LP: #1970069, #1869655).
[ Benjamin Drung ]
* autopkgtest: Increase QEMU timeouts on arm64/armhf
* hooks/framebuffer:
- Move adding framebuffer drivers into auto_add_modules
- Drop looking in $MODULESDIR/initrd/ for kernel modules
- Support MODULES=dep in framebuffer hook
initramfs-tools (0.142ubuntu22) noble; urgency=medium
* autopkgtest: update systemd-udevd path from /lib to /usr/lib
initramfs-tools (0.142ubuntu21) noble; urgency=medium
[ Benjamin Drung ]
* configure_networking:
- Increase minimum timeout to 30 seconds
- Fix configuring BOOTIF when using iSCSI (LP: #2056187)
- Set interface MTU if provided by the DHCP server (LP: #2056194)
- log sleep durations before retries
* Copy /etc/passwd into the initramfs to allow dhcpcd running as dhcpcd user
* Replace obsolete pkg-config build-dependency by pkgconf
[ Dan Bungert ]
* Restore nvdimm and dax pmem-related modules (LP: #1981385)

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* MAAS cannot PXE-boot a machine that has iSCSI disks
* Focal is the default Ubuntu distribution deployed by MAAS, so we should
back-port this to ensure it works out-of-the-box.
[ Test Plan ]
* reproducing this issue requires a machine with iSCSI disks (Cisco UCS
Manager
in the original report), and a MAAS controller (3.4 or better)
* the issue can be observed by simply enlisting the machine in MAAS. It will
fail to boot due to the missing BOOTIF configuration.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* the problematic code was an attempt to fix LP#2037202, so we should watch
out
for regressions.
[ Original report ]
we have a bad interaction between initramfs-tools and open-iscsi,
resulting in the boot interface not being configured.
when the iscsi has a static address, the script `local-top/iscsi` from
open-iscsi creates a /run/net-$DEVICE.conf file for the iscsi
interface. The existence of this file makes configure_networking()
skip configuring the BOOTIF later due to this code in
`scripts/functions`:
for x in /run/net-"${DEVICE}".conf /run/net-*.conf ; do
if [ -e "$x" ]; then
IP=done
break
fi
done
