Re: Virtex TEMAC 1000Mb/s trouble, but 100b/s is working

[schardt <g.schardt@fz-juelich.de>]

I have the same problem with the FX12 Minimodul, runing 2.6.23 kernel...

running the nfs-kernel-server on the host, i could mount the
nfs-directory from the target with -o nolock,tcp
running the nfs-user-kernel failed

with both server i could not mount root-fs in the boot process

i gave up at this moment and take the root-fs to flash memory

regards
georg
