[Follow-up to my previous message]
Maybe best start with lowering the Debconf priority in the kernel
commandline and see if you get some error message, for example (with
PXELinux):
LABEL blah
kernel blah
append priority=low ....
By the way, and slightly on-topic: I found that the order in which
options are passed on the Linux kernel commandline matter when trying to
boot a net4801 from a Debian NFS root:
NFS Error:
short read: 24 < 28
Diag:
Wrong kernel boot options order in pxelinux config
Fix:
Change the order of kernel boot options in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<file>:
#append root=/dev/nfs initrd=initrd.img console=ttyS0,19200n8
nfsroot=192.168.1.6:/mnt/deb ip=dhcp rw
append console=ttyS0,19200n8 initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.6:/mnt/deb ip=dhcp rw
Maybe this is a well-known fact, but it definitely wasn't to me, and I
don't see why it should matter.
