Okay, poked at the problem a bit. It looks like getting an IP using dhcp (or bootp, etc....) is broken. The debian bug page (original link broken - sorry. It links to ubuntu bug) suggests this is fixed - maybe - in a newer version of initramfs-tools.
Specifying IP / netmask / ??? in grub's menu.lst make it work fine so the bug is somewhere in the file: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs ...or possibly in the "ipconfig" command which is called when the script is called using dhcp and other automagic IP address tools. -- NFSroot broken on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
