Hello, I am trying to mount Root FS via NFS on a ADS860 board.
Here is the configuration I am using: - gcc-3.3.1, glibc-2.3.2 - u-boot-1.0.1, built for ADS860 config. - Linux-2.4.22 with NFS-root option selected. (standard kernel, not ELDK) - An x86 box is configured as the BOOTP and NFS server. The root file system folder is entered in the /etc/exports, and I have also made an entry in /etc/hosts/allow When the kernel tries NFS mount of the root file system, error 101 results, followed by a message "Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00". I verified with various sources on the net that the bootargs that I was passing was in the correct format. Google led me to a lot of posts with the same problem, but no leads.. Since I am relatively new around here, looking up the kernel sources for the error 101 didn't lead me anywheer Relevant portions of the monitor trace are attached: Could you please guide me as to what is wrong, or am I missing something? The same NFS server serves a 405GP walnut board that a colleaue is working on, and there it loads just fine. That rules out NFS server configuration errors, I think.. Just to add: I am able to mount RAMDISK root file system. Any pointers to getting out of this muddle will be tremendously helpful..
