I am trying to boot zoom2 board using tftpboot and nfs rootfs with following bootargs:
console=ttyS3,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.25.1:/other_drive/targ
et mem=256M devfs=mount
In scenario 1. I have connected the board directly to eth1 of my machine, which runs a dhcp server. everything works fine, the board boots up.
In scenario 2. I have connected a "network switch" between my eth1 and eth0 of board, board is able to boot the kernel but not able to mount nfs,
Log message: server 192.168.25.1 not responding, still trying
on sever side:
tail -10 /var/log/messages:
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:08:ee:03:7d:e7 via eth1
Jan 29 18:34:06 localhost dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.25.12 to 00:08:ee:03:7d:e7 via eth1
Jan 29 18:34:06 localhost dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.25.12 (192.168.25.1) from 00:08:ee:03:7d:e7 via eth1
Jan 29 18:34:06 localhost dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.25.12 to 00:08:ee:03:7d:e7 via eth1
now while looking around I came across some link which says, may be because of difference in speed of NIC of board and switch, so few of them directed to this link
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/NFS#NFS_Server_not_responding
however the above link is no more valid.
I am not sure if introduction of network switch can create such error, I am able to nsfmount it
from other machines in my network.
Anyone has faced similar problem?
Thanks
