NFS root woes: No init found

Hi,
	I am attempting to boot up a custom PPC board and having problems with the
NFS Root. the board has a single 74xx PPC and Galileo memory controller. What
happens is everything looks good until I attempt to read init from the NFS
root. Then I get the message No init found. I have tried the obvious things
such as changing init for a staticly linked executable, to no avail. I have
enabled NFS debug and it looks like I have mounted the remote fs just fine.
In fact, I can remove /dev/console and watch console_init() throw a warning.
Has anyne seen problems with the Galileo's mii ports or any other boards
booting an NFS root filesystem? I am attaching the end of my log below.
Thanks
Brian
