Hi all,
I'm using u-boot 1.1.4 (CVS downloaded 2006-05-04) and ELDK 4.0. I've =
encountered=20
problems when trying to mount a NFS root filesystem when using the Lite =
MPC5200
development board. The system mounts ok when the board is connected to =
office wide=20
network switches but if the board is connected directly through a small =
100/10Mbit switch
to the NFS server, the mount halts as shown in the log below (The =
100/10Mbit switch
do work as other boards can mount their filesystem through these). Does =
anyone
recognize this problem and know a suitable work-around/solution?

Try adding the ",tcp" to the kernel's "nfsroot=..." parameter, i.e. use 
commandline "root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.3.67.98:/opt/eldk_4_0/ppc_6xx,tcp 
ip=10.3.67.99:10.3.67.98:10.3.67.1:::eth0:off panic=1".

I recall having similar problems when connecting through an 100/10Mbit switch 
and in our case, the ",tcp" switch did the trick.

Cheers,

Kimmo Surakka

Hi,

I have some additional information on the problems we had with NFS on =
the Lite5200 card and the=20
2.4.25 kernel (DENX linuxppc_2_4_devel 2006-04-06) .=20
When analyzing the IP traffic with Etherreal, it was seen that the =
problems were=20
caused by loss of fragmented IP-packets. When the IP fragmentation was =
removed by forcing NFS's=20
UDP size to less than the Ethernet MTU size, the problems disappeared.=20
We used the kernel NFS argument option to this effect;

	nfsroot=3D${serverip}:${rootpath},rsize=3D1024,wsize=3D1024

Still, the question remains, why do fragmented packets get lost? Do =
anyone know of any related FEC/BESTCOMM/driver/buffer issues which might =
cause this problem? The problem also exist with the 5200B version.=20

Regards,

Tord Andersson

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! However, I don't think we have a network or
switch related issue here,=20
as the problem is also found when using a crossed ethernet-cable between
the host and the target.

Best regards,

Tord
