Hi Alan,

 

I’ve seen this problem recently where the host distribution was Suse Pro 9.1, which host distribution you are using?

Subject: TFTP+NFS booting problem

 

hi, i am booting via TFTP using NFS file system with DVEM 1.10 release. It all seem to go well with uImage loaded  from the host with the following info:

bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial
ethaddr=00:0e:99:02:51:46
bootcmd=tftpboot;bootm
serverip=192.168.1.6
bootfile=uImage
rootpath=/home/alanli/workdir/filesys
nfshost=192.168.1.6
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/home/alanli/workdir/filesys
,nolock mem=120M eth=00:0e:99:02:51:46

TFTP from server 192.168.1.6; our IP address is
192.168.1.3
Filename 'uImage'.
...
Starting kernel ...
...
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 136k

Then it keeps this sequence forever without actuall going into booting application process

nfs server 192.168.1.6 is not reachable
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is ok
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is not reachable
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is ok
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is ok
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is not reachable
nfs server 192.168.1.6 is ok

......

I checked my nfs server at 192.168.1.6 is well set and working because if I change to use FLASH using the same NFS file system, the booting process is good. I don't know why TFTP combines with NFS has this networking trouble. any help is appreciated.
