Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting my Davinci DM6446 EVM to boot off of my NFS server. I can mount the filesystem, but the kernel won't boot. The boot is getting stuck with this error:

request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-0-20481

In setting up the system, I copied the filesystem:

/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target

to my NFS server.  I then had to manually do a

sudo mknod /<mysharename>/dev/console c 5 1

on my NFS host since there was no console file there before and I was getting a kernel panic. That solved the kernel panic, but now I have that runaway loop error that has me stumped.

Has anyone seen an error like this one?
Thanks,
