The MAC address is optional and should be so in your package too. > 2) I create /etc/modprobe.d/netconsole.conf configuration with fixed > MAC, PORT and IP of netconsole server Why? You have to load the module from a script anyway, so you could just set the options there. > 3) I add netconsole to initramfs configuration file > (/etc/initramfs-tools/modules) with fixed IP/MAC configuration > 4) I rebuild initramfs for current kernel: update-initramfs -v -u -k > `uname -r` -t > 5) On every system run I will check if MAC/IP of destination server > was changes I will reconfigure netconsole modprobe.conf file and > rebuilt initrd. There is already "netconsole=" cmdline support in initramfs-tools. Whatever you add should integrate nicely with this IMHO.
