I forgot to mention that I am booting Linux 2.6.8-rc4 - ... sure it is not suse but perharps someone on this list is dealing with vanilla Linux too ... ****************** Hi, I've managed to program U-boot bootloader and now am trying to boot my PQ2FADS-VR board ...but I have problems with the initialization while accessing NFS mounted root file system ... . I have NFS server running on my Windows XP Laptop (that is all I am allowed to have, no Linux hosts machine available to me ...). I copied entire "fadsroot" directory from Arabella's CD-ROM into my "fadsroot" directory on my D-drive and made this directory nfs-shared-mountable (I have propagated permissions from "fadsroot" down to all subfolders within "fadsroot" ...). I noticed several errors during the copy process - complaining that I am over-writing the files being already copied - is it an issue with "letter case" ? - are there files on the Arabella's CD-ROM "fadsroot", which have same names but differ just in the letter case used ? Anyway I am getting the following error during the end of the boot: ...... device=eth0, addr=192.168.1.103, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255, host=192.168.1.103, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=255.255.255.255, rootserver=192.168.1.100, rootpath= Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.100 Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.100 VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
