Hi,
 
The 'portmap' is the DM355 end. It is complaining about the NFS server timing 
out. This is because of...
 
1/ The server NFS service is not running. Query with 'service nfs status' 
('/etc/init.d/nfs status' for non Redhat/Fedora/CentOS).
 
2/ The server is blocking NFS via firewall/SELinux settings. Check server 
firewall with 'ipchains -L' not sure about SELinux as it gets disabled at 
install time on my boxes, (/etc/sysconfig/selinux has the line SELINUX=disabled 
which I guess turns it off).
 
3/ Check the bootargs are correct in terms of 'nfsroot' and also that the 
gateway settings are valid if the NFS server is not on the same subnet.
 
Check /var/log/messages for logging from nfsd each time you attempt to boot the 
DM355. If you get nothing and yet nfsd is running then it suggests the firewall 
is blocking the connection
 
Try mounting the NFS share from another linux box....

Subject: Portmap not responding


Hi All,

       I am working on DM355 Evm board. While booting the file system via NFS I 
am getting an error message as 

    portmap: server 157.87.142.172 not responding, timed out
    Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
How can I know, my portmap is running or not.

Please suggest some solution to boot EVM board via NFS.


Regards,
Nadeem
