After playing with this some more, I managed to find a workaround. Clue clue is the log line:
ipconfig: /sys/class/net/eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device Which indicates that the DEVICE variable is somehow getting changed from eth0 (as set in the initramfs.conf) to /sys/class/net/eth0, which is garbage. I haven't worked out exactly where this gets screwed up, but if you set your grub command to explicitly pass in ip like: ip=:::::eth0:dhcp This seems to take a different branch in configure_networks() that correctly configures the interface. Leaving ip unset or doing ip=dhcp results in the reported failure. -- 10.04 beta1 iSCSI-on-root fails on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546964 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
