I compiled the kernel 2.4.31 using sde tools. Download linux to db1550
through yamon. but the kernel can't find the NFS root. I tried the NFS
system from other linux box, and the NFS is ok. Who met this same
problem?

Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.200.0.198
RPC: sendmsg returned error 128
portmap: RPC call returned error 128
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default

VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-2, errno = 2
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 02:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00 

Thanks for the suggestion

You might need to specify the kernel bootline options from yamon correctly.
Perhaps you are missing the "root=/dev/nfs" option.

Something like
go . nfsroot=a.b.c.d:/mnt/rootfs root=/dev/nfs

should do the trick.
