Anyone wanting to netboot in an ipv6-only environment is affected. [Stable Fix] These uploads add "ip6=" to the command line syntax to configure ipv6 using the defacto isc-dhcp-client. IPv4 configuration (and "ip=" syntax) remain unchanged. Valid format for the ip6= command line option is: ip6=none (or ip6=off or ip6=) -- do not configure ipv6 ip6=DEVICE -- run IPv6 dhclient on device DEVICE. [Test Case] See Bug 1229458. Configure radvd, dhcpd, and tftpd for your ipv6-only netbooting world. Pass the boot process an ipv6 address to talk to, and see it fail to configure the network. [Regression Potential] 1) This increases the uncompressed initramfs size by approximately 500KB, since isc-dhcp-client is added, but klibc is still needed for some other things, and is therefore present. On systems with a very small /boot partition, this could result in failure to upgrade the initramfs. 2) In at least some cases, DHCP network configuration shifts from klibc's ipconfig to isc-dhcp-client's dhclient. This should be of minimal risk, as isc-dhcp-client is in very very widespread use. In the event of a regression, network boot would fail, but the prior kernel should still be bootable.
