Comment 9 for bug 1639202

Hi Dave,

The following output appears. I don't see an error relating to "no net-BOOTIF.conf" now...just what's below...

ipconfig: BOOTIF: SIOCGIFINDEX: no such device
ipconfig: no devices to configure
/scripts/local-top/scsi: line 515: can't open '/run/net-BOOTIF.conf'
lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit

ip a # gives:

cat /proc/cmdline gives the mac of the usb-c network adapter (different mac to the previous command - above):

lsmod gives:

/bin/sh: lsmod: not found

ipconfig:

ipconfig: no devices to configure

Other info:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
  - Check rootdelay = ( did the system wait long enough)
  - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT ..dropping to shell.
