[ipxe-devel] console --keep breaks linux-boot

[Oliver Rath]

Hi Michael,
hi list,

there is a strange error booting ubuntu: If i take the --keep parameter
into console-command, linux-kerne starts booting, but isnt able to find
its root-device. If Im disabling --keep, all is running fine. I have no
idea of the reason for this.

NB: For testing you need the ubuntu-12.04.3 *daily*
(http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/), because in the
generic cd the nfs-modules are broken.

My menu.ipxe is attached.

Regards,
Oliver
