I thought of a way to debug this: hit alt+sysrq+e to send a sigterm to all tasks while init scripts are running, but before NetworkManager starts.
I tried it after booting with TORAM=yes, since it seemed to be hung there. It actually works, and I'm running from a filesystem.squashfs that was loaded to tmpfs. So I manually ran some sudo /etc/rc2.d/whatever start, and after starting dbus then NetworkManager, I see that ifconfig shows eth0 go down for a short while after N-M's start script runs. For netbooting the livecd to work, we need a way to prevent N-M from running, or at least from doing this. Or we need NFS mounts that survive the interface going down then up. In fact I'm a bit surprised it doesn't seem to survive. (since I booted with TORAM=yes, I didn't have any NFS mounts when I was running the init scripts.) -- live cd from nfsroot breaks the nfs mount during bootup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
