Hello,
until now i was just reading this list, since I'd have not that much to
contribute to the project.
But I think I can help you with this one.
Inside initrd your /etc/network.conf gets overwritten.
To be exact, it is: (initrd.img)/scripts/live-bottom/23networking
I just don't know exactly if there's a bootparameter for stopping this
behaviour since we just replaced it for our needs, but I think there is one.
I hope that this helps you.
Regards,
Uwe Krause
