Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.113 Severity: normal
Dearest Maintainer, The configure_networking() function in scripts/functions fails to parse an "ip=" kernel option if it has more than one parameter following the device name. For example: ip=client-ip:server-ip:gw-ip:netmask:hostname:device:autoconf works just fine, however, ip=client-ip:server-ip:gw-ip:netmask:hostname:device:autoconf:dns0:dns1 does not, and that happens to be the format described in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt A one character change to configure_networking() will make it immune to any number of parameters following the device name: --- functions 2013-09-25 00:39:49.000000000 -0700 +++ functions-better 2013-09-25 00:40:20.000000000 -0700 @@ -396,7 +396,7 @@ # grab device entry from ip option NEW_DEVICE=${IP#*:*:*:*:*:*} if [ "${NEW_DEVICE}" != "${IP}" ]; then - NEW_DEVICE=${NEW_DEVICE%:*} + NEW_DEVICE=${NEW_DEVICE%%:*} else # wrong parse, possibly only a partial string NEW_DEVICE= In other words: remove the *longest* suffix beginning with ":", rather than the shortest. -mm -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-1 ii klibc-utils 2.0.1-3.1 ii kmod 9-3 ii module-init-tools 9-3 ii udev 204-4 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.20.0-9 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
