Title:
  casper boot=nfs ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  I'm trying to PXE boot LiveCD Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 or Hardy 8.04.1 with no success so far.
  Running installer through PXE works perfectly.

  vmlinuz and initrd.gz from /casper directory (ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso) boots, but stops at:
  (initramfs)

  (initramfs) cat casper.log
  Begin: Running /scripts/casper-premount ...
  Done.
  Done.
  ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device
  ipconfig: /tmp/net-eth0.conf: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device
  ipconfig: no devices to configure
  Begin: Trying netboot from 192.168.2.15:/pxe/nfs ...
  Begin: Trying nfsmount -o nolock -o ro  192.168.2.15:/pxe/nfs /cdrom ...

  Problem seems to occur at do_netmount() (line 168) in /scripts/casper
  have no idea how to bring eth0 up. There is no eth0 in /dev/ directory.
  I'm stuck. Please help.
