Now to the next problem. I'm booting with NFS root file system. Below
is the bootargs that I'm using.

/home/ELDK/ppc_4xx      netusb(rw,no_root_squash)

/home/ELDK/ppc_4xx is where ELDK installed the target file system on
my development machine.
Even though I can now ping the target, I can't telnet to it. I get the
following error.

quoted

telnet netusb
Trying 192.168.1.146...
Connected to netusb.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnetd: All network ports in use.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Is this normal? Do I now need to configure the target file system to
enable telnet?
Or is there still something wrong with my bootargs?

It's not normal. Perhaps it's a problem with inetd or xinetd
configuration? is there any more information in the logs or in dmesg
(well, once you get a working console..)?

Also, after the kernel comes up, I can no longer type any command
through the serial terminal.
The following the message at the end of kernel boot. It says it was
unable to open the console.

Perhaps you dont have a proper /dev/ttyS0 device in the nfsroot?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you
