Bug Description
the initrd.
function
do_netmount() {
...
if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then
rc=0
elif do_nfsmount ; then
export NETBOOT
rc=0
fi
...
should be changed to
...
if [ "${NETBOOT}" != "nfs" ] && do_cifsmount ; then
export NETBOOT ##<<<<<
rc=0
elif do_nfsmount ; then
export NETBOOT
rc=0
fi
...
If we use netboot=cifs the variable NETBOOT is not exported and that impacts
initrd.
that ends up recreating with delay and errors /etc/network/
Next when Ubuntu boots Internet/Networking is not available.
