Hi All, hot to debug my eth0' hw?

[Fabio Giovagnini <fabio.giovagnini@aurion-tech.com>]

Hi all, I build a board with smsc 9118 eth chip; Of course I'm not sure the hw 
is ok.
I'm think to boot with nfs root with no success with these messages:
TCP bic registered
eth0: --> smc911x_open
eth0: --> smc911x_reset
eth0: --> smc911x_phy_configure()

No filesystem could mount root, tried:  nfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

tring to ping as no effect.
I'm sure the IPR register is properly set.
How can I debug my proble?
Could you sugget me a robust and fast way?

Thanks in advance
