Hi,
First post, and also a U-Boot newbie.
I'm working with a U-Boot configuration that I did not build myself. I'm having trouble getting U-Boot to mount an NFS root file system on my target platform.
I have read the U-Boot manual regarding setting up 'bootargs' with all the necessary NFS information, but Linux is ignoring the information and mounting 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 information is getting passed to Linux, however the subsequent messages after the freeing 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= Freeing init memory: 1396K ---------------------- Starting init script ---------------------- ---------------------- Populating /dev ---------------------- ---------------------- Waiting for SD card ---------------------- eth0: link up (10/Half) In the U-Boot Manual section describing how to mount an NFS file system, the example they use shows Linux mounting an NFS root file system, which is more like what I'm expecting. IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=192.168.100.6, mask=255.255.0.0, gw=255.255.255.255, host=canyonlands, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=192.168.1.1, rootserver=192.168.1.1, rootpath= Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 eth0: link is up, 1000 FDX, pause enabled Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1 VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem). Freeing unused kernel memory: 156k init Can someone help with my problem?
