RE: powerCore 6750 nfs mount problem

Bora,

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out=20

This usually means the Ethernet driver's transmitter is stuck.  Did it
initialize correctly?  Did the PHY go link up?

How does network behave in your bootloader?  (Hopefully you're using
U-Boot. :)

Hi,

I am trying to run linuxppc 2.4.20 with a nfs mounted root file system
on a Force powerCore 6750 board with the following command-line options:

CONFIG_CMDLINE=3D"root=3D/dev/nfs
nfsroot=3D15.20.11.58:/root/Linux/MontaVista/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/pp=
c
/7xx/target/
ip=3D15.20.8.204:15.20.11.58:15.20.0.0:255.255.0.0:test1:eth0:off"

I am giving a static IP to my target board so have no need to run DHCP
client on my target board.

My problem is:

The target can not mount to my server Linux machine and gives the
following error:

Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 15.20.11.58

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

I checked the nfs server at my host Linux and it is working properly.
Anybody can help?=20

Thanks,

Bora
