Subject: Re: NFSROOT mount fails on SPARC after 2.6.37


Should be fixed by:

commit 3fb72f1e6e6165c5f495e8dc11c5bbd14c73385c
Author: Micha Nelissen <micha@...i.hopto.org>

    ipconfig wait for carrier
    
    v3 -> v4: fix return boolean false instead of 0 for ic_is_init_dev
    
    Currently the ip auto configuration has a hardcoded delay of 1 second.
    When (ethernet) link takes longer to come up (e.g. more than 3 seconds),
    nfs root may not be found.
    
    Remove the hardcoded delay, and wait for carrier on at least one network
    device.
