I've switched to NFS boot to avoid SD card corruptions. However, when attempting to run netboot, the roach will send an IP discover, the host will offer one, and then the roach will send a discover again. This goes on for 10-15 times when finally the roach will request the correct IP, and the host will acknowledge. The roach will then begin the tftp of the uboot image, but will request block 1 multiple times, gets sent it, acknowledges once starts getting block 1 and 2 sent and then restarts the whole process asking for an IP request.
The whole process seems very strange and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around what could be causing it. Has anyone encountered something similar???
