Fwd: [Fwd: Problems with NFS boot]

[Alex Gonzalez]

Hi,

I am NFS booting with

root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.30:/tftpboot/rootfs
ip=192.168.2.31:192.168.2.30::::eth0

See if it helps,
Alex

Hi list,
I have a Malta board for which I was able to build the kernel, load it
and start it. The problem comes when it tries to boot through the NFS.

I start the kernel with the following command:
go . nfsroot=192.168.1.1/mnt/danube_rootfs ip=192.168.1.4:192.168.1.1:::

The kernel starts up and I get the following output:

I am sure that all my NFS settings are correct since I have another
board which is working fine with that server. Does anyone know how to
boot the board over NFS?

Best regards,

Yeah, I saw that the missing colon before the root path was the fatal typo
that Ralf mentioned, but I was also a bit worried about not seeing the net
device name at the end of the string.
