Re: NFS root woes: No init found

Oh I like the thought! I too have had good luch wit the eval board, but now
our custom is biting me. Lets have a looksie at the data.
Thanks for the idea.
Brian
This is just a wild guess, but maybe there is a data corruption
problem somewhere.  (Maybe cache-coherency?  I know the 74xx/gt64260
is a cache-coherent platform but maybe the snooping isn't wired up or
set up correctly??)

You could try printing out the data the kernel thinks it read for init
and compare it with what's actually on the disk.  (It seems likely it
will be different, since the kernel can't tell that it's an ELF file)

Just as a data point, we have had good success running Linux with NFS
root on both the Galileo Discovery eval board and our own custom board
(both used the Galileo internal ethernet).

Best,
  Roland
