Hello everyone,

    I have a problem related to booting the qemuarm image inside eclipse 
in order to test some applications I develop.
I built a custom image (it inherits core-image-minimal, used latest 
linux kernel 4.8, adds a few extra packages, such as boost, libstd, 
libmodbus etc.) which runs succesfully inside yocto with runqemu command 
(as ext4 fstype, also I have an extra ext4 partition made which is added 
with -drive parameter to runqemu command).
In order to use the created image inside Eclipse, I have extracted the 
rootfs separately and used the folowing trick to compile succesfully the 
application I am working at 
(https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/RunningEclipseAgainstBuiltImage#Why_SDK_Image). 
I am using Eclipse Luna.
I have set all the necessary parameters inside, qemu starts, but at boot 
it hangs  at the following lines:
/
//md: Waiting for all devices to be available before autodetect//
//md: If you don't use raid, use raid=noautodetect//
//md: Scanned 0 and added 0 devices.//
//md: autorun..//
//md: autorun DONE.//
//
//After a while it shows the following://
//
//VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.//
//VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0): error -6//
//Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available 
partitions://
//0100     4096  ram0 (driver?) //
//......//
//fd00    4096  vda    driver:virtio_blk//
//Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(2,0)//
//....//
/
   Inside the console terminal (the one that starts the qemu console) it 
shows the following:

      I have rpcbind enabled (it has been addded the -i option as 
described in the documentation). Inside the kernel's defconfig the NFS 
support is enabled.
      unfsd it listens on port 3049 (checked with netstat).
      Inside syslog I have a warning related to it:
/        Nov 18 13:37:04 unknown unfsd[27672]: Warning: unknown exports 
option `async' ignored/

     What should be done in order to succesfully boot the non SDK image 
inside Eclipse with the NFS file system?

      Thanks in advance!
