Carl> Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.10.1.16:/home/heyendal/buildroot/buildroot-2009.08/project_build_arm/ILS_CM/root ip=10.10.1.8:10.10.1.16:10.10.1.1:255.255.252.0:cm_carlh::off Don't do that. The project_build_arm//root directory shouldn't be used directly as the permissions are not set / device nodes not created (because we want to be able to build without being root). Instead select tarball under target options and extract that tarball on your nfsroot as root to get the proper permissions. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
