Title:
  cloud-init pre-networking fails if kernel cmdline defines static ip

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  cloud-init pre-networking fails when grub is configured to use a
  static IP with the 'autoconf' field set to 'none'
  (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt).

  Cloud provider: vsphere

  
  Static IP is configured here (/etc/default/grub).

  # https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
  #     off or none: don't use autoconfiguration (do static IP assignment instead)

  ValueError: Unexpected value for PROTO: none  

  
  Workarounds:
  Option 1. Change the grub config to use 'dhcp' even though it defines most of the fields statically
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=ip=10.121.105.37::10.121.104.1:255.255.252.0::eth0:dhcp

  Option 2. Patch to normalize 'none' to 'static' (I'd guess there's a more proper fix further up the call)
