Dear Nethra:
The fact that you have gotten this far indicates that uboot is doing the correct thing and the issue is with Linux.
The things to look for when an nfs mount fails at this point are:
1. Can you ping the nfs host with uboot before the bootm. 2. Is the nfs hosts setup correctly, i.e. is nfs running and is /etc/exports exporting the correct directory. 3. Is the nfs rootfs itself correct. That is, does it have init in the appropriate place. Does it have the appropriate dev entry points and are they character devices with good major/minor and not just blank mountpoints.
