Now i'm confused. Because arping's invocation (sudo > arping -f -w 60 -I eth0 ...) on my 10.10 works flawless. Well now I'm also confused... I tested it sometime ago and it failed, but now it works. May be I did something strange at that time, because I was doing weird things to discover what was failing till I found the arping issue. Maybe I should test everything with a different switch. > Is dracut > "throwing" an error when calling arping or is it the "Resolving $dest via > ARP on $netif failed" message? I've tested dracut without commenting the arping line and yes, I get : dracut: FATAL: Resolving 192.168.30.1 via ARP on eth0 failed dracut: Refusing to continue No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
