[U-Boot-Users] ML300 NFS rfs mount problem

[U-Boot-Users] ML300 NFS rfs mount problem

[Mike Wellington]

My kernel command line is set as follows in
include/configs/ml300.h

> #define CONFIG_BOOTARGS     "console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw \
>   nfsroot=135.4.21.60:/opt2/timesys/linux/4.0/amxap100/rfs   \
>   rootpath=/opt2/timesys/linux/4.0/amxap100/rfs  \
>   ip=135.4.21.155:135.4.21.60:135.4.21.254:255.255.254.0:prolab6::off"

However when the kernel outputs its command line
during the boot process I see:

"Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,9600 
root=/dev/nfs rw 
nfsroot=135.4.21.60:/opt2/timesys/linux/4.0/amxap100/rfs
rootpath=/opt2/timesys/linux/4.0/amxap100/rfs
ip=135.4.21.155:135.4.21.60:135.4.21.254:255.255.254.0:prolab6::off"

Then, later I see:

"IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, 
addr=135.4.21.155,  mask=255.255.254.0, 
gw=135.4.21.254, host=prolab6, domain=,
nis-domain=(none)
bootserver=135.4.21.60  rootserver=135.4.21.60
rootpath="


Note that rootpath is now empty, even though I
set it on the command line.

Can somebody give me a clue?

my config

IP-Config: Complete:
       device=eth0, addr=10.10.10.2, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=10.10.10.1,
      host=xcep, domain=, nis-domain=(none),
      bootserver=10.10.10.1, rootserver=10.10.10.1, rootpath=

my rootpath is also empty but i have 'xcep' dir that matches my target 
name under /tftpboot like:
/tftpboot/xcep/<root fs>

I previously had different dir on tftp server but using this config 
saved some issues with booting linux...

IMHO, if your fs does not get mounted this is not the issue.
