Ok, it built clean, but broke on boot.


What does the full command line look like?

-hpa

I presume you mean the kernel boot-line, since last post included the 'Running ipconfig'

Ive been banging at the kernel with permutations of the following pxelinux stanza.

LABEL I 2.6.17-rc4-mm1-sk
MENU LABEL ^i. 2.6.17-rc4-mm1-sk
KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.17-rc4-mm1-sk
APPEND console=ttyS0,115200n81 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/nfshost/truck ip=192.168.42.100:192.168.42.1:192.168.42.1:255.255.255.0:soekris:eth0 panic=5

I think the problem lies with picking up a decent 'rootpath', since that
part of the output is always empty, for all variations tried so far..


Okay, this is probably a result of specifying the NFS server in the ip= option and the nfsroot not having a server. I will try to debug this and straighten it out.

ok - that may need attention, but its also my misunderstanding of the rootpath field;
which describes only what it got from dhcp, I was looking for the cmd-line arg
to show up there also. the 'complete' threw me.

Anyway, I passed it in via dhcp.conf, so I now get this, (and command-line override)

IP-Config: eth0 guessed nameserver address 192.168.42.1
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 192.168.42.1):

Ive added this, but havent yet seen its output :-/
