One thing that sometimes helps in debugging these problems is to use an ethernet sniffer to see what your target is really getting from the NFS server. You can use something like "tcpdump -vvv -s 1500", or something fancier like ethereal. Then you can see whether the target ever even tries to read the init file, etc. Best, Roland ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
