No, we have not tested other versions.

This is not a kernel problem but rather a init script problem with initrd not executing `iscsistart` command to login to iscsi boot target. If you read bug description above, you will see there is a workaround by manually running this command on 14.04. I know sles11sp3/rhel6.1 or later are working even though their kernels are older than v4.0.

I see this bug has been updated to Confirmed. Can someone comment on next steps? A Canonical partner is interested in the status of a fix in Ubuntu.

When the bug was moved to confirmed, was the init script fixed and tested as per comment #6?

Brian - who at Canonical can help us understand what's happening with this bug? It's not obvious who on your team owns answering this. Janitor is very generic w/no name associated with it.

thx
