Ebony Board, PPC440GP and NFS panics

[Gerhard Jaeger]

Hi,

sorry if this is too obvious, but could it be, that you missed to set the
following kernel option:
CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y
Also setting bootarg to ip=auto will be a good idea. What made me suspicious
from your logs is, that I do not see any output from the kernel sayin'
something about received IP-addresses etc...

Correct me if I'm wrong (I use bootp and tftp here), but at least you should
get something like this even for DHCP:

Sending BOOTP requests .. OK
IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 172.40.1.130, my address is 172.40.1.131
IP-Config: Complete:
      device=eth0, addr=192.168.1.131, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255,
     host=pappnase, domain=, nis-domain=(none),
     bootserver=192.168.1.130, rootserver=192.168.130, rootpath=/tftpboot/pappnase

Hope this helps,
  Gerhard
