FS problem when booting

From: Khai Trinh <hidden>
Date: 2002-05-28 16:43:26

I got the following boot up problem with 2.4 devel
kernel when booting on the IBM ebony board:

Sending BOOTP requests . OK
IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 199.254.9.151, my
address is 199.254.9.207

It didn't seem to like the root filesystem directory I
specified on the Host. Where should I point the fs
directory for it in the Ebony kernel directory? I just
arbitrarily pointed it to the 405 target file system
dir existed on my Host system.

Thanks,

I would recomend you check on the server side in /var/log/messages what nfsd
is fussing about - did you export it with (rw,no_root_squash) ?? if not then
uid 0 becommes uid -1 (nobody) and will have access/perm problems.

Thanks, Der Her...I got the NFS problem now. But my
question is the 440GP root filesystem. Where should I
point the fs directory for it in the Ebony kernel
directory? I just arbitrarily pointed it to a canned
target file system dirextory existed on my Host
system.

Thanks,
