I can't see anything wrong with your settings assuming the network IP address 
are correct.
 
I would be tempted to remove the 'nolock' option from the 'nfsroot' variable & 
run the 'portmap' service on the NFS server.
 
That doesn't explain the DHCP issue though. Have you tried a static IP address 
(using ip=........ as discussed) ?

Hi,

here is the printenv output

 

bootdelay=3

bootfile="uImage"

bootcmd=nboot 0x80700000 0 0x400000;bootm

rootpath=/home/confident/workdir/filesys

nfshost=192.168.100.1

bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=$(nfshost):$(rootpath),nolock mem=116M

stdin=serial

stdout=serial

        Hi
        
        I had the same problem.
        
        Set environment varables in the console like is indicated in step 4.3.5 
from getting started guide.
        
        Be careful with Nfshost and rootpath
        
        Regards

        Hi, 
         
        Can you post the output of 'printenv' on your DM355?
         
        Also the console output would be useful as would an ethereal packet 
capture of the DHCP transaction.
         
        If the nfsroot value is valid then it is likely that the problem is 
with in the DHCP area. This failure could be a mis-configuration of the DHCP 
server, the packet capture would help diagnose this. You could try bypassing 
DHCP by setting the ip= value to set static addresses for ip address, gateway 
etc.
         
        
ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
         
        Example:
        ip=172.18.1.222:172.18.1.49:172.18.0.254:255.255.0.0:::off
        
        Obviously you will need to change the network values to suit your 
network & how you come up with an address to use is your problem ;-)

Hi,

 

My DM355 EVM board was unable to boot through nfs mount.

It was struck in getting dhcp ip.

"DHCP/BOOTP reply not for us" message is coming repeatedly..

sometimes its also giving error like 

VFS : cannot open root device "nfs"

Please append a correct "root=" boot option.

kerne panic.

 

Any one has got any idea with the error or am i doing any mistake?

 

thanks

regds
