Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debian-installer
During installation onto an iscsi root, the user can make a choice to
use or not use username/password authentication for the iscsi mount. If
no auth is used, and that works for the iscsi target, installation
continues normally. However, when booting from the created initrd.img,
the iscsi target fails to be mounted properly, generating the error
message "encountered non-retryable iscsi login failure". It turns out
that the installer creates the file /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs, which
includes options for iscsistart, and which is used in creating the
initrd.img. In this file, it sets ISCSI_USERNAME, ISCSI_PASSWORD,
ISCSI_IN_USERNAME, and ISCSI_IN_PASSWORD all to "(null)" instead of to
"", or not setting them at all. Manually fixing iscsi.initramfs and
regenerating initrd.img corrects this problem.
