Hi Weiewei. In spite of the message, the above messages are not so bad.

OK. Now these are bad. :)
the gw=255.255.255.255 argument above looks bogus to me.
do you get a shell prompt on the minicom terminal you can use after all
these messages? If so, what does the `mount` command say? And the
'ifconfig` command?
It seems like something is going wrong with your dhcp server setup...
The mounted filesystem clearly isn't right somehow...
Ours looks like:
root@vegasr2-3:/var/log# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
192.33.116.7:/vol/vol2/code/cicadaroots/vegasr2/ on / type nfs

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)

Maybe you can post the messages of the whole boot sequence if this isn't
any help.
