So here goes a workaround for the bootif option. If you need to boot from a definite eth and the dhcp this NIC have access to provides definite ip address you can use this code:
Both Smart Start and Firmware initrds:
in file: fs/root/compaq/netconfig.sh
Instead of:
dhcpcd -t 45 $1
TEMP=$?
echo return from dhcpcd $TEMP
if [ $TEMP != 0 ]; then
RETVAL=2
fi
Use:
dhcpcd -L -t 30 eth2
TEMP=$?
echo return from dhcpcd $TEMP
if [ $(ifconfig |grep -c 10.100.101) -lt 1 ]; then
ifconfig eth2 down
dhcpcd -L -t 30 eth4
TEMP=$?
if [ $(ifconfig |grep -c 10.100.101) -lt 1 ]; then
ifconfig eth4 down
dhcpcd -L -t 30 eth0
TEMP=$?
if [ $(ifconfig |grep -c 10.100.101) -lt 1 ]; then
ifconfig eth0 down
dhcpcd -L -t 30 eth1
TEMP=$?
fi
fi
fi
if [ $TEMP != 0 ]; then
RETVAL=2
fi
This can be with a loop too but in my case the eth order was bit different and in order to save time it was done with if.
Also I found a bug in SPP 2012 02. The hpasmcli used for setting the boot order is not working. Fix: Inside /system/rootfs.tar.lzma there is a symbolic link /etc/init.d/boot.d/S60boot.health -> /root/compaq/init.d/hp-health . This must be changed to /etc/init.d/boot.d/S60boot.health -> /root/compaq/init.d/boot.health
