Bug#591325: initramfs-tools: kernel does not boot without network connection
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.97.2 Severity: grave Recently during boot initramfs started to send DHCP RARP request to all network interfaces. This behaviour was not observed before and I changed nothing in initramfs-tools configuration for long time. This can be because I started to use dhcp for network configuration (using NetworkManager, and not for network boot boot) or just because I installed new kernel. The result is that kernel fail to boot if there is no network connection, so severity is grave. initramfs just displays repeatedly messages about timeout and giving up, but does not really give up. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3M May 19 01:53 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.34 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.6M Jun 9 14:44 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc1+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.6M Jun 11 21:10 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc2+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7M Jul 2 02:42 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc3+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7M Jul 12 14:02 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc4+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7M Aug 2 10:08 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-rc6+ -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.35-rc6+ root=UUID=777326f2-9fac-4efe-a15b-e01002fd4f1b ro quiet splash -- resume RESUME=/dev/sda5 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 ext4 fuseblk btrfs -- lsmod Module Size Used by binfmt_misc 6815 1 deflate 1895 0 af_key 25013 0 k10temp 2795 0 i2c_piix4 8808 0 btrfs 489608 0 zlib_deflate 19756 2 deflate,btrfs crc32c 2640 1 libcrc32c882 1 btrfs -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-rc6+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=uk_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.2-1utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.18-1 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 160-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.15.3-1 Tiny utilities for small and embed Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:1.2-2programmable completion for the ba -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Does it work for you if you downgrade klibc-utils from 1.5.18-1 to 1.5.12 (available in stable + snapshots)?

Thanks, ip=off helped, there was also some error from nbd visible. Uninstalling nbd-client fixed the problem completely. So I guess this is a bug in nbd-client.
