I've been able to boot LiveCD from nfs mount with intrepid and jaunty alpha 3 without any problem, so I think that this bug is fixed (or that a workaround is now enabled). Should this bug be closed? If yes, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot needs to be updated. -- live cd from nfsroot breaks

I had thought this was bug 92338, but that was fixed by Hardy's N-M's support for iface eth0 inet manual The fact that that no longer works is a different bug (this one, in fact). On bug 92338, --- Alexander Sack wrote on 2008-09-22: (permalink) since gutsy we dont manage interfaces configur

afaics it is a problem with dhclient3. Had the same issue in a netboot-scenario. As soon as dhclient (think it was version 3.01) gets called the network interface shuts down. Found this after upgrading an older debian based netboot fs) Unfortunately the call for dhclient is'nt found in /etc. Th

I marked this as also affecting casper, since it's with boot=casper, not boot=nfs. Also, most nfsroot systems probably wouldn't have N-M installed. In Hardy and Intrepid, scripts/casper-bottom/23networking builds a /etc/network/interfaces with auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0

Hardy does not suffer from this bug. The problems I was having with Hardy were https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/182940, because as I said, Hardy's kernel detected interfaces in opposite order to how they're labeled on the chassis. I netboot Hardy at home on my si

Any way of preventing NetworkManager from starting (or from bringing your interface down and then up) is sufficient. Or maybe just pre- caching the files it will try to access while the network is down, if N-M gets stuck trying to access some files while the network is down. -- live cd from nfsr

I have a workaround for nfsroot booting Intrepid: boot with break=init touch /cow/etc/init.d/NetworkManager exit You will boot normally, but N-M won't run (because files in /cow take precedence over files in filesystem.squashfs, so it's init script is empty). -- live cd from nfsroot breaks th

The Hardy netboot issues can be debugged by booting with break=mount debug=y, then running t=/dev/tty2; sh <$t >$t 2>$t & # repeat for tty3 if you want exit boot will continue, and hang because the network is down. You can debug by switching to another console and looking at /casper.log (where

I thought of a way to debug this: hit alt+sysrq+e to send a sigterm to all tasks while init scripts are running, but before NetworkManager starts. I tried it after booting with TORAM=yes, since it seemed to be hung there. It actually works, and I'm running from a filesystem.squashfs that was loa
