Hi, I try to run Hard Hat Linux from Montavista as described in the CDK 1.2 manual on an RPX lite board. Unfortunately, the installation procedure is only for hosts with Red Hat Linux, I hoped this would work for SuSE, too.
The problem has to do with the NFS filesystem. I can successfully download a precompiled Hard Hat Linux boot-image via TFTP and monitor this with the serial port. The following is the output over the serial port... target IP address : 824B8932 target file name : rpxlite.srec address bias : 0 Starting tftp download: inetARP(): OK .1.2.4.8.16.32.64.128.256.512.1024.2048.4096.8192 load_tftp(): OK 1087283 data bytes, 13764 S-records, 2124 tftp blocks, 0 repeated blocks start address = 00200000 load_tftp_toMem(): OK Transferring control to downloaded program loaded at: 00200000 0020B1FC relocated to: 00180000 0018B1FC board data at: 001801C8 001801E4 relocated to: 00200100 0020011C zimage at: 00206000 0026A4C4 avail ram: 0026B000 01000000 Linux/PPC load: root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/target Uncompressing Linux...done.

Freeing unused kernel memory: 36k init Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Rebooting in 180 seconds.. ----snip---- The filesystem seems to be mounted, but it does not find any files in there although the full "linux tree" is available. I also tried adding init=/bin/init init=bin/init init=/opt/.../target/bin/init to the boot arguments, but nothing helped. Do you know that problem or have an idea? Any help is welcome.
