Public bug reported: the initrd.lz\initrd\scripts\casper script has a bug
function do_netmount() { ... if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then rc=0 elif do_nfsmount ; then NETBOOT="nfs" export NETBOOT rc=0 fi ... should be changed to ... if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then export NETBOOT ##<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< rc=0 elif do_nfsmount ; then NETBOOT="nfs" export NETBOOT rc=0 fi ... If we use netboot=cifs the variable NETBOOT is not exported and that impacts initrd.lz\initrd\scripts\casper-bottom\23networking that ends up recreating with delay and errors /etc/network/interfaces. Next when Ubuntu boots Internet/Networking is not available. seen in ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso ** Affects: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: dia (Ubuntu) => casper (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1331547 Title: No network when PXE booting with CIFS (Live) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1331547/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
