AFAICS, the current solution to this problem is to use initrd / initramfs with a user-space dhcp client and nice script to get the DNS information into /etc/resolv.conf. With this in place you can even drop the DHCP / NFS-root support from the kernel and have it all done in user-space. This seems to be the current trend, and I wouldn't be surprised if the options for IP auto config and NFS root were dropped from mainline in the future. -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com "The Computer made me do it." ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel FAQ: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/faq.php Etiquette: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/etiquette.php
