klausfiendhi there, i have recently started RnD on adopting the new Ubuntu 20 autoinstall tooling with our provisioning process, and I have a question about boot options … searched exhaustively but found nothing … basically, a lot of our machines have multiple connected interfaces, and the initrd process sends DHCPDISCOVER packets on all connected interfaces, and i want to not do that … i.e., i want it to only send a DHCP request on 06:17
klausfiendspecific interface that's specified in the "interface=<ifname>" boot option, but that doesn't seem to work.06:17
klausfiendcan someone point me in the right direction to force the bootstrap process to limit DHCP requests to a specific interface (via MAC, via logical name, etc. is fine, i just want to make sure the wrong interface doesn't try to bootstrap)06:17
klausfiendbah, i'm in the wrong channel, sorry all :-(06:34
mwhudsonsarnold: thanks, turns out the kernel is getting fixed to avoid the problem i was worried about21:20
mwhudsonsarnold: here's how i combined them fwiw: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rp85vkq5ZP/ and the result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WVDGM7HMXn/21:34
