Oh, and I should say I've gone through dracut.cmdline and the kernel networking docs, nothing in those. I was hoping someone would have a trick to resolve this. ;) Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Ruthven, Wellington, New Zealand and...@etc.gen.nz | linux.conf.au 2017, Hobart, AU New Zealand's only Cloud: | The Future of Open Source https://catalyst.net.nz/cloud | http://linux.conf.au

For more info read dracut.cmdline(7). Yes, but then sometimes it isn't always eth0, and I don't want people to have to fiddle with the cmdline for every build...

Dracut, stop on first configured interface?
Hey, Is it possible to have Dracut stop on the first interface that receives a DHCP configuration? Some of my servers have 8 NICs, and while we typically netboot off eth0, the rest might be plugged into switches and it can take a long time for the rest to time out.
