Hello!
DHCP network initialization by kernel boot parameters does not work at all.
According to documentation, if there is parameter "ip=", none of the network interface is initialized. Syntax "ip=[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]" can be use for static address configuration. If I want to use DHCP, I should remove "ip=" parameter completely.
This documented behaviour for DHCP does not work. I tested the syntax "ip=:::::eth1:dhcp" (which is official kernel boot parameter specification and should be use in the future) - does not work either.
Clonezilla Live ver. 2.5.5-38 works well, ver. 2.6.0-37 was first version I noticed, that DHCP initialization stopped to work. Newest versions does not work too - I already tested:
2.6.1-25
2.6.1-26
20190420-disco
20190429-disco
Best regards,
Frantisek
Thanks for the bug report. For the moment, please use this boot parameter:
ocs_prerun="dhclient -v eth1"
to make it work.
