hello I am trying to boot mini2440 from nfs using qemu for emulation. Before stating my problem, I must say that I am a quite beginner. While I am booting mini2440 by using qemu Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1 Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1 VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:11. Freeing init memory: 156K nfs: server 192.168.1.1 not responding, still trying I get this error and now happens later. Here is my /etc/exports /srv/nfs 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,all_squash,insecure,anonuid=1000,anongid =1000) what I do before I try to boot the kernel image and rootfs sudo tunctl -u $(whoami) -t tap1 sudo ifconfig tap1 192.168.1.1 sudo route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev tap1 sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" sudo exportfs -a sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start here is my bootargs setenv bootargs console=ttySAC0,115200 noinitrd init=/linuxrc mini2440=1tb ip=192.168.1.101 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/nfs/ I am using the kernel supported by mini2440 dvd ( zImage_X5 converted to uImage ) and rootfs named as rootfs_qtopia_qt4-20100816.tar.gz extracted to /srv/nfs Any help will be appreciated! thank you very much
