[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#395145: booting hang up

[Amadeu Júnior]

Hi guys,

I think that the problem around the hang up on ltsp-client booting
isn't with nfs mounting anymore.

I'm using initramfs-tools 0.88 and I have the same problem yet.. I
hacking the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs to :

Look that I copied the /sbin/ifconfig to /usr/lib/klibc/bin !! Sorry
for this.. but it was needed for testing.. eheh

With this workaround it works.

So I think that the real problem is the ipconfig, because it freeze
the machine. I've tested to insert many ipconfig for debug and only
the first was executed. So.. I've read the sources of klibc but I'm
not able to understand that.

I hope this helps you... :)
