Thanks Stephen,
While that didn't solve my problem, it certainly gave me a direction
to head in. I was using a Windows host, with more trouble than it
seemed worth, and decided to switch over to a Linux host. So
hopefully my new installation will go a little smoother. Working on
that now...
Cheers,

Did you use 'cp -a' on the filesystem copy? I don't think cp
preserves
the links without the -a argument.

Hello,
I'm having some trouble getting my Davinci DM6446 EVM to boot off of
my NFS server. I can mount the filesystem, but the kernel won't
boot. The boot is getting stuck with this error:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-0-20481
In setting up the system, I copied the filesystem:
/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target
to my NFS server. I then had to manually do a
sudo mknod /<mysharename>/dev/console c 5 1
on my NFS host since there was no console file there before and I was
getting a kernel panic. That solved the kernel panic, but now I have
that runaway loop error that has me stumped.
Has anyone seen an error like this one?
Thanks,
