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:
......

My U-boot environment is:
=> printenv
bootdelay=5
bootcmd=bootm 200000
ipaddr=192.168.1.103
serverip=192.168.1.100
ethaddr=08:00:17:00:00:03
bootargs=root /dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.100:/home/apovolot/fadsroot
baudrate=19200
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Alex
