Yes I have. 

I have changed the boot parameters on the EVM to:
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=10.10.1.203:/home/michael/workdir/filesys,nolock mem=120M

The cable and the connections are okay - when I boot from hard drive,
I'm able to ping both the EVM and the Linux machine.

I suspect it's some parameter on the Linux machine, but I'm not familiar
enough with Linux in order to figure out what's the problem.

Thanks for your help. I will appreciate if you have any further ideas.

Kim

Hi Kim,

I think this is a network issue.....

Have you read the nfs section in the getting started guide?

Regards,

Patrik
