I experienced this when a server with multiple NICs was booting and the nic the dhcp server was connected was detected as eth1. The initrd uses a dhcp client to configure the network, after the kernel did the ip configuration for the NFS root. In the initrd a dhcp client is started for the first network card that has a cable attached. Thus a dhcp client was started on eth0, while the dhcp server was connected on eth1. I patched the initrd to check all interfaces that have a link, if there is no response after a timeout. /Florian
