2016-10-08 02:41:28 Dave Chiluk description initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.3 introduced a serious regression where networking is not initialized when the boot option "ip=dhcp" is provided. We are seeing this problem in AWS, but cannot confirm if this issue is specific to AWS or will occur with different hardware or in different environments. Removing "ip=dhcp" from the boot options with 0.122ubuntu8.3 results in networking being configured. The issue does not occur with 0.122ubuntu8.2 or previous versions when "ip=dhcp" is set. AWS has no console so debugging is not a trivial task. I do have a console log with some output, and will update this bug shortly with it. [Impact] * 0.122ubuntu8.3 of initramfs-tools no longer correctly processed ip=dhcp or ip=:::::eth0:dhcp * Regression-updates * The fix better parses the ip= command line argument. [Test Case] * Create a machine that boots using an nfsroot. * Use ip=:::::eth0:dhcp on the kernel command line. To set up networking. * Discover that the device never comes up because, networking is not conifgured correctly. [Regression Potential] * Regressions potential is limited to machines using ip={""|::::*|on|any|dhcp} on the kernel command line. As this is already broken regression potential is minimal. [Other Info] * There are a number of other issues in this code base that are not solved by this fix. * The networking configuration does not strictly follow the kernel documentation as described https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt . This should be fixed. ====================Original Bug Description Follows================== initramfs-tools 0.122ubuntu8.3 introduced a serious regression where networking is not initialized when the boot option "ip=dhcp" is provided.
