Package: fai-client Version: 6.0 Severity: important
A FAI client booting via network get it's IP address from a DHCP server and the kernel holds this IP only for the lease time. Since we do not run dhclient on the client, it looses its IP address after some time and the network installation hangs. You cannot log into the machine any more. Error message on the console: nfs: server 192.168.33.250 not responding, timed out The code that sets the lifetime for IP addresses to forever was removed in aa429361806091b1f2abed8b31f15f6a30eec6e2, because we wanted to solve a problem by starting dhclient. But that code was removed in 55df9af456e0fc3048d3fefb490fe4c47fe271ae, so we must use the old code. -- regaards Thomas
