Incomplete network configuration information when booting fro m NFS root on Ebony

[Demke Torsten-atd012]

Hi,

is this correct?
nfsroot=192.68.0.47:/opt/eldk3.1/ppc_4xx
            ^^
ip=192.168.0.245:192.168.0.47:::::off
                     ^^^

Why does your kernel uses the IP address 130.27.84.47
(where comes this address from?), but not the IP address from u-boot?
