[Bug 1631436] Re: Some network configuration cmdline arguments doesn't work anymore with version 0.122ubuntu8.3

I'd really appreciate if you tested the ppa available in bug 1631474,
and reported back.

I don't have access to a full nfsroot environment so this would be very helpful.  Also, 
Please move back to the ip=:::::eth0:dhcp, as this should be working once more.  IP=eth0, is an undocumented behavior, and ip=:::::eth0:dhcp should be more universally accepted.

Thanks,
Dave

Title:
  Some network configuration cmdline arguments doesn't work anymore with
  version 0.122ubuntu8.3

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the past, until the version  0.122ubuntu8.1, we used the syntax
  "ip=:::::eth0:dhcp" as described in the kernel's documentation :
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt

  The version 0.122ubuntu8.3 breaks it. It works only with "ip=eth0"
  syntax as far as i have tested it.

  So, the current last package version leaves the machine without
  network on boot. Any host that needs network on boot (nfsroot / using
  dropbear for example) might not boot properly.
