- Legacy nfsroot= without root=/dev/nfs should be unsupported according to the nfsroot.txt.

47 This is necessary to enable the pseudo-NFS-device. Note that it's not a
48 real device but just a synonym to tell the kernel to use NFS instead of
49 a real device.
"make gitrpm" creates an rpm from the last git checkin
"make rpm" creates an rpm for the version tagged with $VERSION
"make dist" creates a tarball for the version tagged with $VERSION
Pretty much everyone uses it, and things break of userspace
does not make it because of a case of mistaken identities.
/sbin/start_udev on FC11, I am looking at you.
The Bug causing dhclient to recall BIND has been identified:
dhclient-script runs with #!/bin/sh -e, causing setup_interface
to fail if no hostname is provided by dhcp as it is the last statement
in that function.
This introduces a new cmdline argument bootdev, to support the case
where multiple nics need to be up before the netroot handler is called.
Cases involved might be bonding, iscsi multipathing, bonding, ...
This argument is required to decide which interface is the primary to
use for dhcp root-path, default gw, etc.
When multiple ip= items are present on the cmdline, the ip= parser
now enforces the presence of <dev> further demands that the new argument
bootdev contains the name of the primary interface. Configurtion if of
course still delegated to netroot but in is enhance to ensure that netroot
"waits" for all required interfaces to be up.
Example: root=dhcp ip=eth0:dhcp ip=client-ip:::netmask::eth1:off bootdev=eth0
First, the ip= cmdline parser ensures that all ip items contain a <dev> then
checks the ip items and checks as well that an ip= item for the given bootdev
was found.
When the first netroot starts, probably for eth1, it checks wheter interface
configuration for all interfaces is available. If not it exits. The second
start of netroot (eth0, which was a bit delayed because of dhcp) sees that
all interfaces are present, configures them and continues.
Instead of configuring devices when they are ready, ifup and
dhclient-script write script files which are then sourced by
netroot.
This solves the problem of having multiple interfaces and not knowing
which one to use for dhcp or default route. This way, netroot (which
is serialized anyway) configures the interface before calling the root
handler and deconfigures it if the handler failed.
Example: root=nfs:server:path and ip=dhcp with eth0 and eth1 receiving
a dhcp reply, but eth0 is the correct one to use.
Assuming eth1 is the first to receive the dhcp-reply, netroot starts
and configures eth1. nfsroot is run but fails, so eth1 is deconfigured. If
eth0 has received a dhcp-reply (or not, then we wait) the other locked
netroot process starts and tries with eth0 and succeeds.
