The problem is: (...) Mounting rootfs read only ( nfs root ) succesfull Freeing unused kernel memory 198kb NFS server 192.186.1.45 not responding, still trying. On server side log contains a message that /usr/src/install was mounted succesfuly by client machine. No other messages about errors. And normal mounting of this NFS export from any unit on the network ( mount -t nfs 192.168.1.45:/usr/src/install /mnt ) works fine. The problem apeear only when client unit started from floppy try to mount NFS root. The same problem is with 2.4.7-pre6 I haven't tested it on pre4 and pre5. On 2.4.7-pre3 and all previous kernels it works fine - client boot from NFS root as it should. All test was made on the same machines with the same system configurations - only kernels were diffrent. /etc/export : /usr/src/install *(rw,no_root_squash) Slawomir Pol
