Hello all, I hope this is an appropriate place to post this, as I am running out of ideas. I have a machine that I am attempting to boot over the network. I have compiled a kernel for it, Debian Lenny Linux version 2.6.26, with nfs file system and root file system support. For a complete rundown on how I have created the setup, please see: http://www.shadlen.org/~maria/pmwiki/Work/Gpxe Things work well up until it is time to mount the file system from fstab (ie, it mounts everything ro, makes it all the way through init and gives me a command prompt). The rw mount is not happening because rpc.statd never starts. If I try to start rpc.statd by hand, it complains that: Opening /var/run/rpc.statd.pid failed: Read-only file system. Since I am mounting the root directory over nfs, it makes sense for this file to be read-only until rpc.statd starts and Is there any way I can start statd without a pid file until I get the root file system mounted rw? Or something else to try? I had a similar setup working with an earlier version of nfs-common, but it broke when I upgraded recently. Currently using nfs-common 1:1.1.2-6lenny1 thank you for any direction anyone can point me, as I am about at my wit's end... cheers, maria ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
