Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.95.1
Severity: normal
i've been testing the newest initramfs-tools network booting support, though it
seems to make 10 DHCP requests in rapid sucession. fortunately, the last DHCP
request does work. switching back to hard-coded DEVICE=eth0 in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf doesn't trigger this issue, oddly enough.
it think something in the following code is the issue:
for ROUNDTTT in 2 3 4 6 9 16 25 36 64 100; do
# The NIC is to be configured if this file does not exist.
# Ip-Config tries to create this file and when it succeds
# creating the file, ipconfig is not run again.
if [ -e /tmp/net-"${DEVICE}".conf ]; then
break;
fi
case ${IP} in
none|off)
# Do nothing
;;
""|on|any)
# Bring up device
ipconfig -t ${ROUNDTTT} "${DEVICE}"
;;
dhcp|bootp|rarp|both)
ipconfig -t ${ROUNDTTT} -c ${IP} -d "${DEVICE}"
;;
*)
ipconfig -t ${ROUNDTTT} -d $IP
it loops through all of the ROUNDTTT's in 1 second, which doesn't seem like the
intended behavior.
so either "ipconfig -t" is broken, or initramfs-tools is expecting the wrong
behavior from ipconfig.
an alternate possibility is that i've been testing with qemu and qemu-kvm,
which may have strange timing issues. i will attempt to test with real hardware
and follow up with that...
live well,
vagrant
