Subject: nfsroot on multiple-NIC serial-over-LAN system -> deadlock?
I'm using 2.6.30rc (git head as of yesterday) and getting a bunch of
machines bootstrapped from the bare metal via PXE/pxelinux/nfsroot.
nfsroot plainly *works*, as I've got several machines booting happily.
But then I come to a machine with multiple NICs and IPMI, and things
fall over. I have to manually specify the NIC to use or it goes into a
DHCP-probing deadlock (cause undiagnosed but it looks identical to this
one so may be identical): but if I give the NIC info by hand, I *still*
see a deadlock:

Its cause is unclear. I'd expect to see something like
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.14.18
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.14.18
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) readonly on device 0:15.
at this point, but I don't. Just dead silence.
The boot parameters were:
root=/dev/nfs ip=192.168.14.15:192.168.14.18:192.168.14.1:255.255.255.0:spindle:eth0:off nfsroot=/mnt/spindle-root console=ttyS0,115200
(IP addresses are definitely correct, and the interface name is
apparently correct because we can see it bring the link up in the kernel
messages: if I use the other interface name, there's no such chatter in
the log.)
(I'm using IPMI and a serial console, with the console redirected by
IPMI over the same NIC: but as this uses a distinct MAC --- hell, a
distinct processor --- it surely can't interfere. Can it?)
Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious? (Probably.)
