Description Dave Young 2012-02-03 15:14:50 UTC

Description of problem:

F17 kdump will move to use dracut to generate initramfs, it need dump to non-root network target. But current network module design is all for netroot. 
We need redesign and support this case.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate initramfs for system in which root device is not network device or nfs
2. boot into initramfs with proper network cmdline (except netroot part)

Actual results:
network do not startup

Expected results:
network start up successfully
