aoetools is effectively unchanged, and their initramfs_hook is the same since xenial.
in the initramfs-tools the changes between 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS are that for automatic IP bring up, more methods are now supported with more robust IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 DHCP. Was your 18.04 LTS installation customized to prevent DCHP in the initrd? Or was DHCP attempted in 18.04 LTS and simply was failing, keeping things working? Is this something you can rectify with preup ifupdown hooks, such that dhcp leases that are not needed are removed in the running system? Or is booting with ip=none parameter sufficient for you? Please indicate what has changed, to cause failures. Because the behaviour of aoetools in stock configuration between 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS is expected to be the same, with dhcp being performed from the initrd by default. ** Changed in: aoetools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot + aoetools initramfs hooks starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ifupdown in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905472 Title: aoetools initramfs hooks starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot Status in aoetools package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrade frpm 18LTS to 20LTS I've lost the network. Network is managed by ifupdown Netplan is not installed Network manger is disabled (masked) Yet, at boot, SOMETHING starts dhclient for every network interface. This has disastrous results - dhcp request succeeds on physical interface that is a base for a vlan-based interface, causing real dhcp request on to fail on vlan interface. Expected behavior - dhclient starts only for interfaces marked as dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces .
