After several hours of testing I've to report that it sadly is still present. * Taisuke Yamada <tai@rakugaki.org> [Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:41:36 +0900] in bug #584583: > I'm seeing similar (probably the same) issue with klibc ipconfig > failing to obtain DHCP address.

I tried > both source from 'git' and 'apt-get source (of klibc_1.5.18-1)'. klibc-utils 1.5.18-1 is broken as soon as more than one NIC is present, independent of the i-t configuration manually executing ipconfig fails -> runs just in an endless loop. Downgrading to klibc-utils 1.5.12-2 fixes the issue. I tend to call this a RC bug as people with multiple NICs in their systems will get non-booting systems, so raising severity of 584583 - we have to fix this for squeeze. maks, you can easily reproduce this issue with kvm, a live system (latest Grml release works fine) and two virtual NICs. If you need any further information I'm happy to provide it, debugging klibc-utils 1.5.12-2->1.5.18-1 is PITA with all its header and build changes. regards, -mika-
