Problems with wheezy installation on multi nic servers

[Steffen Eichler]

Hi,

I've installed a fai server with version 4.0.7.

If I start a installation on a server with more than one network interface the following options in pxelinux.cfg

APPEND initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/srv/fai/wheezy/nfsroot aufs rd_NO_LVM FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/srv/fai/wheezy/config/ FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" root=/dev/nfs boot=live FAI_ACTION=install vga=785

DHCP configuration of interfaces fails and fai-client is not able to mount nfs. After that installation runs in kernel panic.

If I remove ip=dhcp option and set "IPAPPEND 3",

APPEND initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/srv/fai/wheezy/nfsroot aufs rd_NO_LVM FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/srv/fai/wheezy/config/ FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" root=/dev/nfs boot=live FAI_ACTION=install vga=785
IPAPPEND 3

the install routine prints out the following information.

Is it a config failure by me. Or should I report a bug?
