Hi all, I have a problem. I build a rootfs using buildroot and configured NFS to the unflatted FS. The problem is that init is not started. Here is my bootargs : setenv bootargs console=ttySAC0,115200 noinitrd init=/sbin/init mini2440=3tb ip=192.168.1.16 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.15:/nfsroot and the log : eth0: link down IP-Config: Guessing netmask 255.255.255.0 IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=192.168.1.16, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255, host=192.168.1.16, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=255.255.255.255, rootserver=192.168.1.15, rootpath= Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.15 eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.15 VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:13. Freeing init memory: 132K and the system freezes. Next lines should be (when booted from nand with jffs2 rootfs): Initializing random number generator... done. Starting network... ip: RTNETLINK answers: File exists Starting sshd: OK Welcome to Buildroot buildroot login: Ether init or /etc/init.d/rcS is not called. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Init doesn't start with NFS
Consider the follwoing points: in ubuntu: 1. sudo vi /etc/exports /export/fs *(rw,no_subtree_check,sync) sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart 2. ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:54:a2:cd:32 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:248 Base address:0x2000 3. sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart * Stopping NFS kernel daemon [ OK ] * Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...

Let me know stil you are facing the problem. If so please send your kernel configuration .config and root file system. Thanks Alex
