<div> </div>
<div>I experienced (again) a phenomenon that is IMO "unconvinient".</div>
<div>It's not new I know it for a lot of fai versions, but maybe someone has a nice solution meanwhile</div>
<div>or it could be fixed in the future?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I like to install the nodes using pxe.</div>
<div>When installing server with multiple NIC, I usually want to set fai-chboot -IF only for ONE interface.</div>
<div>That works fine for the boot, kernel and initrd get loaded.</div>
<div>But than the initrd is ... IMHO unnecessarily probing for other NICs.</div>
<div>It finds them, they - unfortunately - get also ip adresses.</div>
<div>Next the system tries to mount the nfsroot with one of the other nics, not eth0</div>
<div>and fails (with premission denied, although the address would be allowed in /etc/exports).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My solution to unplug all other NIC for the installation works but obviously isn't a real solution ;-) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think one could hack the initrd the way that it uses the same NIC to mount the nfsroot than the one</div>
<div>the system used to boot.</div>
<div>Shouldn't that be the default or am I missing something.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>best regards</div>
<div> </div>
