I'm developing a moderate sized ramdisk image to be used on an embedded project, and I'm having trouble getting all of the NFS client-side file dependencies sorted out on the ramdisk. I'm using YDL installed on powermacs for my hosts & servers (not cross-hosted from x86 boxes). The NFS mounts work fine when mounted from another powermac or when the embedded system is Root-On-NFS booted (both of which have a full YDL install).
The problem is that when the embedded system is booted to ramdisk, and then an NFS mount of the server is attempted; the mount command goes away, and eventually a "portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out" message pops up. The NFS server box is listed in the /etc/hosts file. My ramdisk image has been built by taking various components from a YDL install; this is so that the target embedded environment (ramdisk) has compatibility with customer's lab machines (typically YDL boxes). It's my opinion that I have missed something on the client-side when assembling the ramdisk image. Does anyone know where I can find a listing of the dependencies within the various NFS client components (mount, nfs, rpc, libs, etc)? Thanks, everyone. -- Sincerely, Jim Potter 45th Parallel Processing Firefighting: Bustin' ours, Savin' yours. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
