Hi all, I'm encountering problems trying to nfs mount a ifle system to the debian bootstrap system during an install. I'll try to provide all details I can think of below.
The base system is RH7.3, the nfs mount problem has occurred with both hercules versions 2.16.5 and 2.17.1 running Debian-390 (woody,r1). I have an already-configured Debian-390 image that runs fine under both hercules 2.16.5 and under 2.17.1 and can nfs mount directories from the base RH7.3 system with no trouble, both RO and RW directories. Both versions of hercules are configured and built on the base RH system, not installed from pre-built rpm's. I'm testing the install with a new Debian-390 DVD from one of the official Debian cd vendors, http://www.linux-cd.com. The bootstrap image boots OK, gets all the way through to "Install Kernel and Driver Modules" and then asks where to get the packages from. I specify nfs and use "192.168.1.101:/mnt/cdrom" as the nfs source, and the system returns these error messages in the /var/log/messages file (192.168.1.101 is the IP address of the base RH system): Feb 15 05:13:48 (none) user.info dbootstrap[303]: mount: Mounting 192.168.1.101:/mnt/cdrom on /instmnt failed: Invalid argument Feb 15 05:13:48 (none) user.err dbootstrap[303]: Error mounting NFS filesystem `192.168.1.101:/mnt/cdrom', please try again.
