RE: [Virtex 4 PPC] Problem mountin rootfs via NFS

in the meantime, I get up my toolchain and an linux-kernel from xilinx
git-repository.
Hardware is an FX12 Mini-Module form AVNET, standard design with
LL-TEMAC, EDK 9.2.
Kernel boots fine till he try to mount his rootfs via NFS. NFS is
working correctly, probed with some other maschines. Some times kernel
can mount NFS, somtimes kernel panics trying this.
I already try some additional parameters found here on the list like
"tcp,no_lock" but didn't help. Also probed direct connection, connection
via a 100 MBit switch. No success.
Another thing I tried is set ip=3Ddhcp, the device find our DHCP-Server
and gets an address. So I think network should ok, but where comes the
NFS trouble from?

Do you have a 'console' device file set up in your NFS rootfilesystem?=20

no, I don't think so. When I'm back in office Monday morning I'll looking
into detail for you.
But the error seems to be some low-level network issue: sometimes kernel can
mount NFS, sometimes not and so on.

Best Regards, 

Ingo

you are right. 
I'm adding the device and can login via console.

But some trouble is left:
connected the board via a swich to the PC I loss packets, connectet directly
there are no packets lost.

Any hints?

Best Regards,

Ingo
