Private bug reported: This will enable boot from NVMe-oF/TCP. After kernel/initrd load from NVMe-oF/TCP volume (with infrastructure provided by EFI), the initrd should contain hooks to parse nBFT, connect to NVMe-oF/TCP volume, mount it and switch to it as root. Current nvme.* kernel command line options will not help with nBFT boot.
Dracut patch that enables boot from nBFT is available here. https://github.com/timberland-sig/dracut/pull/1 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Information type changed from Public to Private -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948630 Title: Ubuntu 22.04 Feature Request-dracut: Include support to boot from NVMe-oF/TCP via nBFT Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This will enable boot from NVMe-oF/TCP.
