Why eth0 does not work

[xuwentao at cn.ibm.com]

Currently I only modify ppc4xx_pic_init() to init IRQ 20 and 26, which is
used by
ttys00 and eth0. That error occurs because my CPU is a ppc401 not a 405gp.

I have exported /opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/target_ftest4 according
instructions from
mvista. The output is broken into 2 lines.

BTW, I disabled the loopback in the config file, and the msg "lo is down'
still
appears.

I start the tcpdump at the server, I found that the server recieved many
ARP packets
issued from the linux box(7.1.1.5) looking for the server(7.1.1.21). It
seems that
the box can not resolve 7.1.1.21 (can not read MAC addr, as Ben said).

I don't know what changes you have made to ppc4xx_pic_init(), make sure you
have
initialized the pic correctly.

I have seen similar messages when the driver for eth0 was not registered or
not working properly.

But this may indicate that you actually were communicating with the server
over ethernet???  I haven't looked up NFS error -5.  What does it mean?
Is it something as simple as needing to export your root files system
("/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/ta") on your host system?  Did you mis-type
the path of the root file system in the command line passed to the linux
kernel or is the path just truncated in the error message?
