Hi,

I have a powerpc based platform and would like to have access to all the 
latest
RapiodIO patches included in the mm-tree, but I fail to mount my rootfs 
over nfs using the latest mm-kernel.

I can see that the code handling nfs mount in the mm-tree differs 
significantly from the  code in the kernel I used earlier (where nfs 
mount of rootfs works for me - linux-2.6 currently 2.6.36-rc8).

I'm using the same default_config options as input to the mm-build as I 
do for 2.6.36-rc8 and the same kernel cmdline options, the console log 
from the boot show no significant deviation from the two kernels, not 
until I reach the point init init/main.c:kernel_init() where 
/dev/console is supposed to be opened. If it is helpfull in any way, the 
nfs mount attempt fails at:

line 2131 of fs/namespace.c:do_mount()

I guess that there is something that I need to do different to make this 
happen in the mm-tree - possibly something my platform init code should 
have prepared or some extra kernel config option(s) that  is/are needed 
when building the mm kernel.

Please advice!
Kerstin
