nfsroot problems on RedHat 8 with kernel linux-2.4.18-27.8.0

[Martynas Buozis <martynas@ti.com>]

Hello


I have problems with nfsroot module when root file system is shared on 
EMC Cellerra. The problem is, that  Celerra needs the
client's name and IP address to authenticate the mount request. This
information is usually sent through the RPC authentication data. But 
nfsroot module does not send this data during mount, so Celerra denies 
request. This was a conclusion by EMC support after analyzing network's 
traffic between disk less station and Celerra.

I was looking what can be changed in /usr/src/linux-2.4/fs/nfs/nfsroot.c 
code, but I am not very experienced in this. Maybe somebody can help me 
to solve this problem ? Maybe that's wrong file were too look for 
changes ? Is it possible to make changes like this and is it possible to 
get official fix fro this problem ?

Thank you very much for your kind responses.

With best regards
Martynas Buozis
