Hi,

On F17, I am trying kdump to an iscsi target. And I am passing a
netroot=iscsi:..... cmdline to dracut. But that does not seem to work.

Some debugging showed that we do parse the netroot= arguemnt in
parse-iscsiroot.sh but after that nothing happens. Nobody tries to
bring up the iscsi luns.

I see some code in iscsiroot.sh to call iscsistart to bring up iscsi
luns but that code does not seem to be hooked up. I could not figure
out who calls /sbin/iscsiroot.

So I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or there is some
disconnect in my understanding of how netroot= options works.

Thanks
Vivek
