index | next in thread | raw e-mail
I'm trying to adapt a working 2.2.6 diskless booting arrangement to 3.0,
for both clients and the server. The client machines load the kernel just
fine, then I see
NFS ROOT: 10.0.0.1:/export/boot/fs
which is correct, but the process stops there. It doesn't get any
further. I'm not sure if the machine is successfully mounting the root fs
or not. There is no error after timeout, the client's IP does respond to
pings.
I have no configured swap, and while all the configurations I have
seen did have nfs swap, my setup worked under 2.2.6 without it and I'd
prefer to avoid it.
Following is all the info that seemed pertinent. These configs are with
very few changes (IP numbers and such) the ones that worked under 2.2.6.
If you reply, please reply to me directly, I'm not subscribed to the list.
Thank you in advance for your help.
