RE: Help: kernel option root=/dev/nfs failing 2.6.10

["Haven Skys" <hskys@frontbridge.com>]

Thanks.  Yes I have.
Here are a couple configuration options I have set:

CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP=y
CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP=y

CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
CONFIG_NFS_V4=y
CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y
CONFIG_NFSD_TCP=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y

Everything is textbook really.  I followed several different examples and
still nothing works.
