DHCP root-path option to specify nfs-root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

as mentioned earlier on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/29/3) it was
possible to specify the nfs-root path as DHCP option. In my tests I was
unable to get this working and had a look at the old patch. It seems to me
that most of the changes found the way into 2.6 mainline. But I could not
figure out why it does not work anyway.

For network booting it is very comfortable to specify the path as DHCP
option, especially because different root-pathes can be set up
automatically in conjunction with ISC DHCPD. Implementing this feature
again would be a good thing, but I don't know if it is possible or if this
feature was left out with intent for some reason.

Greets,

Marco Schinkel
