Bug 1057709

Description of problem:

Using a rawhide initramfs and trying to get dracut to acquire an IP address via DHCP results in the following completely clear and helpful error message:

[    7.203496] localhost dracut-initqueue[501]: Starting dhcp for interface ens3
[    7.243673] localhost dhclient[548]: irs_resconf_load failed: -1060348880.

Anyway, dhclient is crashing because there's no /etc/resolv.conf, and I guess it needs that now. An empty one works.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
