Hi Prajosh,
Could you post what exact error are you getting.
I had a very similar problem recently when trying to boot the kernel using tftp and then mounting the Rootfs over NFS.
The issue I faced was that the Rootfs' /dev directory was not correctly populated and was missing the /dev/console device.
I was getting an error on the lines of "Unable to start init console" and I too spent time mucking about in my inittab.
Thanks,

pretty much all I can do), I'd say that your NFS mount of the root
file system isn't working.
You can always try and see if you can even boot into a shell manually,
by adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel command line.
Have you tried booting without using NFS, and verifying that you can
mount the NFS volume?
