Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-386
Okay, maybe I'm not supposed to do this, but
I want my workstation to boot diskless, using nfsroot from a server.
Since I had everything set up (and working) with LTSP, I thought it'd be
easy to justs point pxelinux at the current kernel, and install a basic
system to an NFS volume. However, the scripts in
initrd.img-2.6.17-9-386 were unable to mount the NFS volume, and
consequently dropped me out into the initramfs shell.
After fiddling with scripts and options, I got this to work by
extracting the working LTSP intrd (gunzip and cpio), replacing its
/lib/modules with the one from the current initrd, and using cpio and
gzip, creating a new initrd.img.
In short, this works for me now, but since it seems to be a bug, I
thought I'd report it as such.
