[Bug 181258] Re: problem about diskless booting

[Thomas Gebhardt]

The /scripts/functions patch from Dean Montgomery (#15) saved my day.
Thanks!

When I deployed a ubuntu/lucid netboot environment in a multi-media room
for a workshop that bug affected me. The e1000e driver module did non
complete its dhcp setup (link becomes ready .... giving up) and after
60s I got a kernel panic. I replaced /scripts/functions in the initrd
image and it worked like a charm.

The various bug reports in this thread may be caused by different flaws.
The presented /scripts/function patch makes the boot procedure more
robust in either way. Therefore I'd suggest to include that patch
irrespective of this bug report.
