LinuxPPC Embedded: root nfs boot problems.

LinuxPPC Embedded: root nfs boot problems.

[Brendan Simon]

I am trying to boot embedded-2.2.5 kernel using a nfsr root filesystem.
Here is a log of the console session.  I get a "neighbour table
overflow" error.  What does this mean ?  I have a look in the source but
can't figure out what is happening.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

I executed "mount -t nfs 203.21.127.160:/sys/ads-root /mnt/test" from another
linux box and this worked fine.  I could view and edit the files.  So I think it
is a mpc860 kernel problem.  I did have the nfs-root working sometime ago though
it would just hang when trying to open the console.  The terminal output said
that the nfs root was successfully mounted.  There is probably something that I
have left out of the kernel coniguration but I'm not sure what.  I have another
look.

Question on booting FADS by NFS and /bin/sh (Re: LinuxPPC Embedded: root nfs boot problems.)

[Ouchi Masatomo]

May I ask you some basic question(s) 
booting MOTOROLA's FADS board by NFS
related to my last posting  
 
http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/200001/msg00086.html

<Question>
Q.1
  At first, mbxroot.min.tgz can be used for FADS ?

Q.2 
  Why these messages is out?
    (1)repeat of "NFS not responding" and "OK"
    (2)"error in loading shared libraries" and
        "libc.so.6: Out of memory"

[source]
  mpc8xx-2.2.13
 
[NFS Server]
  Linux  2.2.5-15 for i686 by Redhat ver 6.0
  IP=192.168.0.254
  defines client's name, MAC, IP, ... in /etc/bootbtab

  Files in Root_Path are from mbxroot.min.tgz.
  Those are sh and ls in /bin, /dev ,
  ld.so.1, libc-1.99.so, libc.so.6 -> libc-1.99.so, 
  libtermcap.so.2 -> libtermcap.so.2.0.8,
  libtermcap.so.2.0.8 in /lib.

[console]
 When booting, cosole messages are:

  ..........................
  eth0: CPM ENET Version 0.2, 00:00:85:30:30:31
  Sending BOOTP and RARP requests.... OK
  IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 192.168.0.254,

  init: error in loading shared libraries
  libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object:
    Out of memory

*: repeats about 20 times.
   I tryed some times. About 20 is average value.
   Meanwhile there are many transmissions 
      FADS's udp-port 800 ------> NFS server's udp-port 2049
                                    128 bytes
      FADS's udp-port 800 <------ NFS server's udp-port 2049
                                    1132 bytes
   I don't know NFS protocol in detail.
   So I can't understand meaning of datagram.
