I'm having trouble booting my linux image over a nfs share. The share is on an openSuse 11 server. I am able to mount the folder on a centOS machine and copy the file over the network so I believe it is setup properly. My UBoot output is
File transfer via NFS from server xxx.xxx.50.21; our IP address is xxx.xxx.50.15 1 Filename '/root/Desktop/susenfs/bootme4linux.bin'. Load address: 0x80000000 Loading: ################################################################# #Timeout
When I try a nfs share on the CentOS machine it times out immediately.
Anyone ever seen this?
UBoot 1.2.0, however the NFS code is the same.
Is the the correct way to activate NFS in my uboot image?
#define CONFIG_COMMANDS ( \ CONFIG__CMD_DFL | \ CFG_CMD_NET | \ CFG_CMD_PING | \ CFG_CMD_MII | \ CFG_CMD_DHCP | \ CFG_CMD_MEMORY | \ CFG_CMD_NFS)
What processor and Ethernet controller are you using? NFS initially bursts a lot of full-size frames and if your MAC can't keep up you'll have trouble connecting. Try limiting the read block size on the client by specifying 'rsize=' parameter.
