Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
i tried setting the staic ip address as below in 'bootargs'

ip=$<clientip>:$<serverip>:$<gatewayip>:$<netmask>::off

But still i cannot bootup.
One more doubt that i have is: When we connect this device to a PC, the
"Local Area Connection" should show status as "Connected". Right? But i find
it "Disconnected"... i am beginning to wonder if this is hardware issue with
this EVM board?
How can i make sure of this? Please advise.

Regards,
Pradeep.
