Title:
  initiramfs-tools: configure_network retry indefinitely option

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  initramfs network booting by default fails after a fixed number of
  attempts/timeout to configure the network. For example, in an
  automation environment with heavy DHCP usage, a system will give up
  trying to get a DHCP lease after 265 seconds. This will require manual
  intervention or a hardware watchdog to power-cycle the system in order
  to retry getting a DHCP lease.

  This patch for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS adds a notimeout kernel command line
  for casper that tells configure_network to instead retry indefinitely
  with an increasing retry interval.
