           Summary: Multiple bugs in mkinitrd (network, iscsi)
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Booting
        AssignedTo: jsrain@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: mendel@xxxxxxxxx

There are several bugs in mkinitrd. Patch to fix is attached.

Just for information the setup is as following:
iscsi connections:
  iscsi-target1 (on iscsi-initiator hostA)
  iscsi-target2 (on iscsi-initiator hostB)
Both of there iscsi targets contain a partition table
which described the whole 'disk'space as linux raid (fd).
Those partitions reside within /dev/md0 (a raid1).
/dev/md0 is the root partition.

To setup the iscsi connection I need DHCP for networking.

The bugs:
1) scripts/setup-iscsi.sh doesn't look to $blockdev but
   only looks for $rootdev. This way mkinitrd can't
   find out that /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are needed for booting
2) scripts/boot-iscsi.sh has a for statement where it looks
   how much iscsi-sessions there are (and some other in case
   someone specifies them an the commandline). This 
   statement is missing a $.
3) scripts/boot-network.sh has a bug. Already described in
   bugreport #413199
