Public bug reported:
Describe the bug
When trying to setup NFS boot for an Ubuntu 22.04 image that is created with
debootstrap, generating an initrd with dracut makes the boot hang after root
pivot and init phase at "Starting wait for network to be configured...".
Disabling/masking systemd-network-generator.service and
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service as well as omitting systemd module when
building the initrd image allows the system to boot but then the network is
left unmanaged and the interfaces that were renamed before init from eth0 to
enp0s3 (for example) is then reverted to eth0 when the system is booted and
running networkctl command shows all interfaces as unmanaged
With initramfs-tools generate initrd image, the system boots normally and the
interfaces are renamed properly from "eth0" to "enp0s3" and are managed by
systemd as expected.
Distribution used
ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Dracut version
tested both version 051 (available in apt repos) and 058 (built from source)
Init system
systemd
To Reproduce
Setup PXE server (dnsmasq), grub...
Create an ubuntu 22.04 image with debootstrap, chroot into the created image,
install kernel (currently using 5.15.0-25-generic) and other packages you may
need.
install dracut and dracut-network packages and build an initrd image.
export the image with nfs-kernel-server and boot a VM/machine with it.
Expected behavior
I expect the system to boot properly like when using an initramfs-tools
generated image.
Additional context
I understand dracut is not usually used on Debian/ubuntu, but the reason I want
to use dracut is its modularity and I find it to be less complicated than
initramfs tools and specifically I want to do an overlay with the NFS exported
image which is just a rootovl kernel parameter in dracut rather than a whole
custom script with initramfs-tools that I was not able to make it work.
