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?

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,
Raseel
