For your configuration you need at least these: CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_PNP=y CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS=y CONFIG_NFS_FS=y CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y In the absence of a platform maintainer the respective default config files are at the very best only updated so that `make oldconfig' does not ask questions.
