UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server
 

I tried using a cisco 876 router as the DHCP server today and had the
same problem, so I had to use the clientid kernel parameter to work
around it.

Isn't there any other way to prevent dhcp3-server from assigning 2
leases per client, so that we can drop the clientid=' hack?

Bug description:
Only the first terminal to boot is assigned a lease. Other terminals are unable to.

By changing the following line in /scripts/init-premount/udhcp in the initrd file:

if udhcpc -n -c ' -s /tmp/dhcp-script.sh -i $i $clientid_param $hostname_param $ip_param > /dev/null; then

to

if udhcpc -n -s /tmp/dhcp-script.sh -i $i $clientid_param $hostname_param $ip_param > /dev/null; then

The DHCPD client does not try to assign multiple blank client ID's to the Windows DHCP server and all terminals can then boot.

UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server
 

I've filed LP #563056 which I suppose would be a better solution to this
problem.

UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server
 

Reopening, because setting clientid in pxelinux.cfg/default is not an
acceptable solution. The DHCP RFC states that the clientid should be
unique on the local network, and not doing so causes serious problems
with certain RFC-compliant dhcp servers.

The current udhcp package is ancient (>5 years old) and doesn't have the necessary "--clientid-none" switch .
The udhcp codebase has been moved to busybox. That newer udhcpc does have the --clientid-none switch (line 165 in http://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/udhcp/dhcpc.c?h=1_16_stable&id=53283adb24765a7afb4d62986 61c3c1a8d6f5601)

So as soon as that new udhcp package lands in Ubuntu
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udhcp/+bug/566845), we can
drop --clientid completely and start using -C instead, which should be a
proper solution to this bug report.
