Hi, As maintainers of initramfs-tools, I'd like to solicit your opinion. Which end should/could be fixed in this case? Will init export the IPOPTS variable, or should local-top/iscsi get it by some other means?
Thanks, Feri. -------------------- Start of forwarded message -------------------- From: Ferenc Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: open-iscsi: fails to use kernel IP configuration parameter Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:54:15 +0200 The local-top/iscsi initramfs integration script uses the configure_networking function, which depends on the IPOPTS environmental variable set by the init script. However, this variable is not available, because it's not exported from init, and local-top/iscsi is not sourced but executed. Thus static IP configuration on the kernel command line is not communicated to the script. It may be an initramfs-tools bug, I'm not sure about the communication policy. Adding an export statement into init fixes this issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-xen-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -------------------- End of forwarded message -------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
