When booting diskless, after PXE gets an IP address from DHCP and boots
the kernel, the initrd is loaded and nash runs the init script. Eventually
it tries to start up the network interface (which is already up under
PXE):
network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp
This fails with recent kernels / mkinitrds. It works fine with kernel
2.6.18-1.2869 and the initrd created by the then-current mkinitrd.
My bug report is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225479
I am curious if other diskless booters are seeing this problem? If not,
how does your setup differ from ours?
