Hello Simon,
i have actually the same problem as you have in NOV 99 (showing below),
but i don't find the answer to your problem in the mailinglist-archive
(linuxppc-embedded). So i hope you can tell me how you have solved this
problem. I use a 2.2.13 kernel with math emulation.
The same configuration with the old kernel (2.1.119 - no module support)
works fine.
I am trying to boot embedded-2.2.5 kernel using a nfsr root filesystem.
Here is a log of the console session. I get a "neighbour table
overflow" error. What does this mean ? I have a look in the source but
can't figure out what is happening.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

I don't believe the "neighbour table overflow" errors are the problem. I
get them frequently but otherwise have success.
It looks like a problem on your nfs server. The "unable to get nfsd port
number from server" and "unable to get mountd port number from server"
messages indicate that at minimum, the portmapper is not running on your
server. Perhaps mountd and/or nfsd are also not running.
If you've not done this already, you should verify from another machine
that you can mount the root file system from your server. Also, it's
always been useful for me to monitor system logs on my server when
debugging nfs root mounts - make sure your target board actually is making
contact, make sure your server grants access, etc...
