[Phil Lello <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The VM image was generated via debootstrap, then the main changes were:

- add interfaces definitions for lo (auto) and eth0 (manual)
- set hostname
- set root password
- set fstab up (mounting / from /dev/nfs)
- install linux-virtual package via chroot
- set initramfs-tools for netboot & run update-initramfs -u

Note that the eth0 interface is left as configured by the initrd
environment, since re-running DHCP causes problems for an NFS root.

I'm pretty certain the guest OS is configured correctly, but perhaps this
is more of an uncatered for scenario (e.g. initramfs environment handling
DHCP) than a bug.

Fortunately, by the time the main kernel boots, /run is already populated
with the results of the initramfs DHCP, in the net-<iface>.conf file(s)

I'm happy to update the script - and if you could point me at the
guidelines for these, I'd be greatful - my internet searches didn't come up
with anything.

Title:
  No DNS servers after netboot

Status in resolvconf package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 / resolvconf 1.69ubuntu1.1

  When netbooting a xen VM, I see the following output:

   address: 192.168.1.180    broadcast: 192.168.1.255    netmask:
  255.255.255.0

   gateway: 192.168.1.1      dns0     : 192.168.1.1      dns1   :
  0.0.0.0

  So I know DHCP is working.

  However, resolv.conf doesn't get updated - the interface is set to
  manual as DHCP was handled at the initrd level.

  Please let me know how I can help get this fixed.
