Yes, Chuck.
Good catch.
Deepak,
Can you possibly verify your bootargs?
I see exactly your same problem with kernel 2.6.32 (rc6.3) on my
board, where the bootargs is defined like this:
bootargs=console=ttyAMA0,115200 mem=128M root=/dev/nfs
ip=192.168.1.10:192.168.1
.1:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0 nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/home/guest/armv7/target
In fact, rootpath is undefined also in my case...
But if I get the network info from my DHCP server the system is booting
correctly.
(i.e. console=ttyAMA0,115200 mem=128M root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp)
So, why do we have rootpath undefined in our bootargs?
I guess we screwed up something someway...
Let's see it tomorrow.
Ciao,
Arm
