Some further info.
I'm right now using the ramdisk.image.gz from the LinuxPPC-2000-lite cdrom
as nfs mounted rootdisk. (I installed the ramdisk on the PC)
Like that I get an error message right after the kernel has booted:
...
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 10.1.20.2
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 10.1.20.2
VFS: Mounted root (NFS filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 32k init
tty_io.c: process 1 (swapper) used obsolete /dev/cua0 - update software to use /dev/ttyS0
I found out that the kernel generates this error message in drivers/char/tty_io.c .
Does someone know what this error message means? How to avoid it?
TIA, Ruedi

Hi, Ruedi,
Check you nfs root file, and make sure that the "/dev/console" is a symbol link to
"/dev/ttyS0", instead of "/dev/cua0" .
Please tell me if this helps.

It's a bug in the kernel. Workaround is to make /dev/console a symlink

Actually /dev/console should not be a symlink.
It's a character device, major 5, minor 1 on every decent system.
