Comment # 8 on bug 1003872 from Per Jessen

The problem persists in Leap15.  At least I know what is happening now. 

I'm installing onto NFS, server is "rootserver.example.com".  This works fine,
but as reported above, the initrd that is built does not work due to a faulty
command line argument "ip=:static" .  This in return is due to /etc/resolv.conf
not having been populated on the new root filesystem.  It works fine on the
installer root, here it has been populated by dhcp as usual.  For building the
initrd I presume the installation process chroots to the new root filesystem
and here there is only a default /etc/resolv.conf.
