The right fix is to delete ipconfig.c, it has been the right fix for a long long time. There are initrd based bootp/dhcp setups that can also then mount a root NFS partition and they do *not* need any kernel helper.
Indeed probably the biggest distro using nfs root (LTSP) doesn't use ipconfig even on 2.4.
DaveM can you just remove the thing. See http://www.ltsp.org for initrds that don't need it in - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
