First post, and also a U-Boot newbie.
Welcome, but...
I'm working with a U-Boot configuration that I did not build myself. I'm ha= ving trouble getting U-Boot to mount an NFS root file system on my target p= latform.
First, please stick to the netiquette: please make sure your line length does not exceed some 70 charcters or so - your lines are way too long.
Second, your problem description is wrong - it's not U-Boot which mounts the root file system, this is done by the Linux kernel instead.
Which points to the third problem: your question is not U-Boot related at all, it is a Linux question. You're kind of off topic here.
I have read the U-Boot manual regarding setting up 'bootargs' with all the = necessary NFS information, but Linux is ignoring the information and mounti= ng the resident file system that's on my target; which of course I'm trying= to bypass.
From printenv: bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.10.1.16:/ home/heyendal/buildroot/buildroot-2009.08/project_build_arm/ILS_CM/root ip =10.10.1.8:10.10.1.16:10.10.1.1:255.255.252.0:cm_carlh::off Below is the output that I get that clearly shows the correct NFS informati on is getting passed to Linux, however the subsequent messages after the fr eeing of memory is from my resident file system: NET: Registered protocol family 17 RPC: Registered udp transport module. RPC: Registered tcp transport module. IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=10.10.1.8, mask=255.255.252.0, gw=10.10.1.1, host=cm_carlh, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=10.10.1.16, rootserver=10.10.1.16, rootpath=
You don't show the full boot messages, so we cannot see which command line is actually seen by Linux.
We also cannot see what the kernel is trying to mount actually.
Can someone help with my problem?
Given the fact that you don't provide any relevant information, we cannot help you.
