FS problem when booting

[Khai Trinh]

I got the following boot up problem with 2.4 devel
kernel when booting on the IBM ebony board:

Sending BOOTP requests . OK
IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 199.254.9.151, my
address is 199.254.9.207

It didn't seem to like the root filesystem directory I
specified on the Host. Where should I point the fs
directory for it in the Ebony kernel directory? I just
arbitrarily pointed it to the 405 target file system
dir existed on my Host system.

Thanks,
