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. [ 7.249145] localhost dracut-initqueue[501]: irs_resconf_load failed: -1060348880. [ 7.251776] localhost dhclient[548]: Can't initialize context: (result code text not available) [ 7.253761] localhost dracut-initqueue[501]: Can't initialize context: (result code text not available) [ 7.256762] localhost dhclient[548]: [ 7.257452] localhost dhclient[548]: This version of ISC DHCP is based on the release available [ 7.262199] localhost dhclient[548]: on ftp.isc.org. Features have been added and other changes [ 7.262868] localhost dhclient[548]: have been made to the base software release in order to make [ 7.265674] localhost dhclient[548]: it work better with this distribution. [ 7.268320] localhost dhclient[548]: [ 7.268798] localhost dhclient[548]: Please report for this software via the Red Hat Bugzilla site: [ 7.271278] localhost dhclient[548]: http://bugzilla.redhat.com [ 7.271691] localhost dhclient[548]: [ 7.274239] localhost dhclient[548]: exiting. 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): dracut-034-74.git20131218.fc21.x86_64 12:dhclient-4.3.0-0.4.b1.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using a rawhide boot.iso, attempted to boot using updates=http://... with no ip configuration
reassigning... does dracut really has to supply an empty file for dhclient to work as expected?
Should be fixed with bind-libs-lite-9.9.5-0.4.rc2.fc21 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1052343 ***
