It throws a kernel panic and scrolls everyting else out of screen. No
chance to scroll back. It's really annoying to debug initrd bugs. :(
But ipconfig isn't the only problem inside this initrd. This whole
thing needs to be fixed. It may help to replace ipconfig. As everybody
is able to read the scripts/live comment:
# this is tricky (and ugly) because ipconfig sometimes just hangs/runs into
# an endless loop; iff execution fails give it two further tries, that's
# why we use '$devlist $devlist $devlist' for the other for loop
This is crap and should be fixed.
