Just for the sake of providing LUCID-Users that need to rely on PXE boot with a workaround:
After the initrd was created, decompress it and open the file scripts/functions. Find the three lines invoking "ipconfig -t 60 ..." and duplicate then several times - but change the timeout to something around 15 seconds. As soon as one of the ipconfig processes succeeds, the later ones will just ignore the invokation since you already are provided with a valid IP address. If the ipconfig process fails to obtain an address on an e1000 interface, the next line tries again. With 3 sequential invokations we now have 100% success rate on our boot process. It is a very dirty workaround, but that will be OK until we are ready to migrate to maverick or natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/695508 Title: ipconfig fails sporadically with e1000 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
