hi ok! problem solved
problem was kernel command line mine was: CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.10.10.10:/home/sadri/hdl/eldk_rootfs/ppc_4xx ip=dhcp" by default 2.6.21 CMDLINE contains two console parameters, the correct one should be CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.10.10.10:/home/sadri/hdl/eldk_rootfs/ppc_4xx ip=dhcp" well , rootfs comes up until login prompt, I enter root as the password but it gives "incorrect login" message/ another note: I changed the memory size to 32Mbytes from 64, I feel the system is more stable in this case. some times the system does not come up probperly. ( generates segmentation fault and similar messages ) thanks ---------------------------------------- > Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 10:58:28 -0600 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: ML403 2.6 kernel, root file system on NFS, stops after freeing > unused kernel memory > CC: [email protected] > > On 5/23/07, Mohammad Sadegh Sadri wrote: > > > > Hi all > > > > I have studied the disscussion here mainly by Mirek32 (I think this was the > > name) but unfortunately the disscussion is finished without any suitable > > answer and solution. > > > > the 2.6 kernel comes up on ml403 with no problem, it gets an IP address > > from my DHCP and mounts the root file system from my NFS server , all of > > these are ok. > > > > Unfortunately , after "freeing unused kernel memory ", init , console stops > > working however the board is alive because it answers all of my pings > > correctly.
