The 3.8.0 kernel is EOL. If this applies to 3.11 or newer, then please
reopen and target to saucy/3.11.

Thanks

Title:
  iscsi booted system hangs on 3.8.0.19 ramdisk .(ppc - e500mc)

Status in “linux-ppc” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:

  I was experimenting with an iscsi boot device   as root device , and 
  one of the preliminary steps is getting a network connection established via
  the default initrd.

   It appears that starting the network from init hangs the
  system.

  I installed Ubuntu directly to an iSCSI target via the Ubuntu install , copied
  the default vmlinux+initrd to a USB, then attempted to setup the boot
  environment via USB where we launch vmlinux and initrd via kexec:

  svy-boot# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
  svy-boot# cd /mnt/iscsi
  svy-boot# ls
  abi-3.8.0-19-powerpc-e500mc         
  bootargs                            initrd.img-3.8.0-19-powerpc-e500mc
  bootiscsi.sh                        kernel
  config-3.8.0-19-powerpc-e500mc      vmlinux-3.8.0-19-powerpc-e500mc
  go.sh                            
                             
  svy-boot# ./go.sh

  
  /sbin/kexec --command='root=/dev/ram ro

  /mnt/iscsi/vmlinux-3.8.0-19-powerpc-e500mc 


  
  I started the system so it would break if a error occured:

  2013 (Ubuntu 3.8.0-19.25-powerpc-e500mc 3.8.13.13)

  
  The system would likely find the iSCSI device but it hangs when the iscsi stack
  is started :

  (initramfs) sh +x ./iscissi
