[Bug 221613] [NEW] NFSroot broken on hardy

[Twigathy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

NFS root seems to be broken on Hardy Heron.

I installed a copy of Hardy using the mini.iso to a local disk and tried
to get NFS root working using (my own instructions...) here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDriveWithLocalBoot.
Everything seems to go well up until the boot process hits "eth0: link
up" and then I get nothing. No errors or anything, just sat there doing
nothing.

Verified there is no network activity between client and server with
iftop...

Tracked it down to a bug in initramfs-tools - see Debian bug# 395145.
Would be nice if some kind of fix was done - I am having a go at getting
it working now and if I make progress will post here again.
