Hello All, When I load the Kernel into my target board. I got the following message and I am not able to mount NFS file system. IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=10.72.148.8, mask=255.255.248.0, gw=10.72.149.201, host=target02, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=10.72.149.201, rootserver=10.72.149.201, rootpath= NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.

(I did not enable WATCHDOG, still I am getting WATCHDOG errors) I tested a different working kernel with same NFS Server settings and command line arguments, it is working fine. Thanks in advance Regards Ramprasad portmap: server 10.72.149.201 not responding, timed out Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default Linux version 2.4.9-13.am33-020219 (root@px6123) (gcc version 3.1-am33-020219) #2 Fri Jan 17 13:24:36 EST 2003 On node 0 totalpages: 16384 zone(0): 0 pages. zone(1): 16384 pages. zone(2): 0 pages.
