Public bug reported: initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.3 introduced a serious regression where networking is not initialized when the boot option "ip=dhcp" is provided. We are seeing this problem in AWS, but cannot confirm if this issue is specific to AWS or will occur with different hardware or in different environments.
Removing "ip=dhcp" from the boot options with 0.122ubuntu8.3 results in networking being configured. The issue does not occur with 0.122ubuntu8.2 or previous versions when "ip=dhcp" is set. AWS has no console so debugging is not a trivial task. I do have a console log with some output, and will update this bug shortly with it. ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631474 Title: No networking with initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.3 and ip=dhcp boot option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1631474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
