Hi, A week ago I sent a post to nfs-linux, however bacause of my subscribe problem I don't know whether you received my post or not. Sorry if it is a double post.... Here is the problem. I am trying to boot a node from network via nfs and pxe. Here are the assumptions on the server: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth3 iface eth3 inet static address 196.25.69.15 netmask 255.255.255.128 network 196.25.69.0 broadcast 196.25.69.127 gateway 196.25.69.1 auto eth2 iface eth2 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 and the content of /etc/exports is: /home/nfsroot 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) where /home/nfsroot contains the linux image for client. The content of /home/nfsroot/etc/fstab is: # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/nfs / nfs defaults 0 0 I see no terminal prompt (e.g bash, sh, ...). After some minutes I see these messages on the node: connect: connection timed out NFS over TCP not available from 192.168.1.1 Done. Begin: Retrying nfs mount ... Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-permanent ... Done. connect: connection timed out .... Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom... mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory Done. mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: no such file or directory Taget filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init No init found. Try passing init= bootarg What is wrong with NFS? appreciate any idea and comment.
