I have a problem when use the NFS which use to mount the filesys

[Phil Quiney]

Hi,
 
Please 'reply to all' to keep the list in the thread
 
Can you post the complete output of the console rather than just the bit that fails.

Hi 
 
now the problem is 
 
Sending DHCP requests .., OK
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 0.0.0.0, my address is 192.168.81.11
IP-Config: Complete:
      device=eth0, addr=192.168.81.11, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=192.168.81.1,
     host=192.168.81.11, domain=, nis-domain=(none),
     bootserver=0.0.0.0, rootserver=0.0.0.0, rootpath=
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(0,255)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Hi,
 
As Brad said, if this is your own kernel then can you rebuild it with the default options set. The kernel config requires 'CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y'
for this boot method to work.
 
FYI I booted a DM355 with the following bootargs....
 
setenv bootargs 'mem=116M console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=172.18.1.34:/tftpboot/remote_fs/dm355_rootfsdir_nfs ip=dhcp'

On the console the following appeared....
 
eth0: link down
Sending DHCP requests ., OK
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 172.18.0.254, my address is 172.18.128.92
IP-Config: Complete:
      device=eth0, addr=172.18.128.92, mask=255.255.0.0, gw=172.18.0.254,
     host=172.18.128.92, domain=trinity.local, nis-domain=(none),
     bootserver=172.18.0.254, rootserver=172.18.1.34, rootpath=
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 172.18.1.34
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 172.18.1.34
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 180K

Can you also check the /var/log/messages file on the NFS host. You should see a message like...
 
Sep 12 07:50:19 chrysler mountd[1989]: authenticated mount request from 172.18.128.92:800 for /tftpboot/remote_fs/dm355_rootfsdir_nfs (/tftpboot)

You have of course made the directory available (in /etc/exports), started the nfs service & disabled the firewall (or otherwise allow NFS through).
 
[root at chrysler ~]# cat /etc/exports
/tftpboot *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

What happens if you try to mount the file system from the host....in my case that would be commands of the form...
 
[root at chrysler ~]# mkdir /mnt/nfs
[root at chrysler ~]# mount -t nfs localhost:/tftpboot/remote_fs/dm355_rootfsdir_nfs /mnt/nfs
[root at chrysler ~]# ls /mnt/nfs
bin   dev  etc   lib    mnt  proc  sbin  sys  usr
boot  home  media  opt  root  srv   tmp  var

Did you build your own kernel? Seems like NFS is turned off in the kernel.
