Hi Matt, please update your romfs and kernel available here: https://github.com/ska-sa/roach2_nfs_uboot
Note that updating uboot is a bit more tricky and you should not need to do it. Regards Alec PS. Here is the procedure: Please get the latest one here: https://github.com/ska-sa/roach2_nfs_uboot (the files are in "boot"). If you are running a NFS just copy the file to nfs_path/usr/local/sbin The latest romfs includes the new tcpborphserver3. To update: ROACH2 Test machine set-up instructions: https://docs.google.com/a/ska.ac.za/document/d/1tqw4C6uZ6EULl1OykTFL_vQTnK52UBr0aYqTg44E5wg/edit). You don't need to setup a whole machine, all you need is a tftp and dhcp server. 1. Set up a tftp and dhcp server (see the tftp section in the test machine setup instructions). 2. Create a symlink or rename the romfs image to romfs e.g. "ln -s roach2-root-2012-10-18.romfs romfs" in the tftp directory. 3. At the uboot prompt type: run tftproot 4. This takes a long time! About 5 minutes. 5. Using a terminal emulator like minicom access the console (minicom ttyUSB2) 6. Login using root (password is blank) 7. rm /usr/.keep 8. reboot -f To update the kernel follow the same instruction but substitute tftpkernel. This command assumes the kernel file is called "uImage". At the uboot prompt run "printenv" to see a list of macros and what they do. If anything is unclear please don't hesitate to ask.

I'll check with Marc to get you a newer version and mail you off-list. You're solo-booting, right?
