kernel config & nfs (maybe!!)

kernel config & nfs (maybe!!)

[Robin Gilks]

Greetings

I might be missing something here with nfsroot, kernel config & the
kernel command line but...

When one does a "make oldconfig", is there a way to stop it asserting
the lockd config if nfs is enabled? Its driving me nuts trying to do an
automated build of a kernel that doesn't require a local rpc server to
do the locking and since I want to boot with a nfsroot filesystem, I
can't see how to get the -o nolock across the kernel command line.

Many thanks

Never mind!!

Turned out to be the /dev directory in the host copy of the root fs
didn't have all the special files in it that it should have had so I was
unable to execute the init task once the root nfs mount was done.
