Dear all,

I have had the most horrific difficulties trying to get an nforce2 motherboard 
with built in LAN to network boot.  While I have the PXE bootloader working 
fine, I am having a nightmare trying to get the root directory mounted over 
NFS.

I have compiled the kernel appropriately (2.4.20, and have tried both stock 
kernel and RedHat varient), it loads up pulls in the ramdisk then (naturally) 
falls over...

What I want to try and do is to get the network card up and running using the 
ramdisk, then see if I can pivot_root.  I have successfully tested the driver 
(nvnet.o) which I compiled for this kernel.  

Since this projects main call seems to be network booting, could any of you 
offer me some advice as to how to proceed.  I assume you have seen every 
possible way of getting something to boot over the network.

I'd really appriciate the help, this is starting to drive me mad,

-ed
