hi Marcus,

I've just downloaded libc-1.99-8xx from linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu
and tried it but without success. Is that library known to work?
I presume so but I am asking just in case.

Hi,

finally, all I had to do is to had an entry into /etc/hosts
so that mountd's authentication pass.

Now, on the serial console, I see that the root system is
mounted via NFS and that some memory is freed but then the
systerm hangs there. I did some tcpdump while the board is
booting and I found that:

/sbin/init gets loaded
/lib/ld.so.1 -> ld-2.1.1.so gets also loaded

but this all gets loaded, even if /sbin/init needs libc.so.6
and libutil.so.1 (as indicated by ldd). Is it normal that theses
2 libraries does not get loaded immediately after ld.so.1?

They would, unless ld-2.1.1.so crashed.

If it is, idea why the system hangs?

Sounds like you haven't made the highly needed MPC8xx modifications
to glibc. See the archive of this list.
