But I've another important fact: I've tested linux-3.1 and the behaviour is the same as in linux-2.6.39.4 with the difference that eth0 seems to be up when NFS tries to mount NFSROOT. So I see no reason why the kernel can't send the mount request (I see no request in wireshark). So now I'll enable more debug output in 3.1 and send you the result like I've done it in my last email for 2.6.39.4... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
