Package: fai-server Version: 5.10.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
As requested by Thomas, I'm creating this bug report following a post on the mailing list. When fai-cd builds a bootable ISO image, Dracut acts as a DHCP client, but is a single shot only and doesn't continue to run. Once the DHCP lease expires nothing on the machine being built renews the lease. On a PXE boot installation, the Linux kernel takes care of the DHCP lease renewal for us. Ideally FAI would start dhclient - if required - to ensure that DHCP leases are renewed as required. This can be a difficult situation to diagnose, because if you're using an NFSROOT, once the IP expires and is removed the system effectively hangs.
