Hi all,
I found an extrange behaviour in NFSROOT while not using BOOTP or RARP to
provide client-ip, Instead I provide it in the command line
Using the following kernel 2.0.35 configuration:
CONFIG_NET=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y
CONFIG_M386=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SMC=y
CONFIG_WD80x3=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
And the following parameters to loadlin:
zkernel <- Kernel Image name
root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=147.156.17.31:/nfs-root
nfsaddrs=147.156.10.20:147.156.17.31:147.156.1.11:255.255.128.0:eth0:none
ether=10,0x300,eth0
Using kernel shows correctly this settings using NFSROOT_DEBUG but It gets
the following condition
if (!bootp_dev_count && !rarp_dev_count) {
printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Unable to open at least one network
device\n");
return -1;
}
The Ethernet card is detected Ok
That is as If I did not specified the client-ip-adress in the command line!
(and using instead rarp or bootp!!!)
I commented these lines but then I've got the following message
Root-NFS; Multiple devices and no server !!!!!!
Any comment or suggestion will be greatly appreciated, right now I'm going
to try with netboot...
