[Impact]
Booting a kernel/initramfs with 'rooturl=http://...' for trusty
or xenial requires also adding 'rc-initrd-dns' or 'cloud-config-url='
to the kernel command line in order to get the fix provided by bug
1711760.
If a user boots with 'rooturl=', that should imply they want dns
copied over from the initramfs or otherwise working dns. They should
not have to add the additional flag.
[Test Case]
Download the test case attached.
Run it and follow the instructions.
Login to the guest (ubuntu:password), and inspect /etc/resolv.conf
without the fix there would be no data in /etc/resolv.conf. With the
fix you should see 'nameserver 10.0.2.2' and 'search mydomain.com bar.com'
[Regression Potential]
Regression potential should be very low.
This could negatively affect a user who was booting with rooturl=
and had solved the lack of dns in another way.
[Other Info]
rooturl was SRU'd to xenial and trusty. When that happened we were
not aware of the broken-ness of DNS. Had we been aware at that time,
we would have fixed this then, and the regression potential listed above
would not be present.
Note, that without a fix for bug 1714308, dns does not work inside
the initramfs. So the url in 'rooturl=<url>' has to be an IP address.
