In the past, several people had problems booting a host with multiple network cards. IIRC Dell hardware often had this problem. In newer versions of live-initramfs a new bootoption is available.
* bootoption ethdevice: use specified network device for network booting (PXE) instead of default (being eth0). Feature contributed by Helge Wagner. Usage example: ethdevice=eth1 AFAIKS this option was first added to grml, then the patch was also included in the original live-initramfs package. http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue724 A backport version of the newest live-initramfs package can be found at http://live.debian.net/debian/pool/backports/main/l/live-initramfs/ I think about adding a newer live-initramfs package to the FAI repository, so you will automatically get a version that supports this new option. Any comments? -- regards Thomas
