I'm sorry you fell in the same hole, Charles, but I'm relieved I'm not the only guy in it! I haven't finished gathering data (got distracted by the BeagleBoard-xM comments yesterday, including yours, and pulled mine out of a project to see if I can boot and run LinuxCNC as built by Michael). Anal-retentive tester that I am, so far I've tried various combinations of: 1) U-Boot IP provisioning: either setting the relevant environment variables explicitly or setting them via DHCP (U-Boot command dhcp with autoload=no) 2) kernel loading: either from the microSD card or via TFTP (U-Boot command tftp with autoload=no) 3) kernel IP provisioning: either setting the relevant boot parameters explicitly or setting them via DHCP (boot parameter: ip=dhcp) 4) rootfs mounting: either from the microSD card or via NFS So far, it seems that I can succeed with a number of combinations---many with rootfs mounted via NFS---but not with 1=dhcp, 2=ftfp, 3=dhcp, 4=nfs (e.g., the very combination that Michael described on his Wiki page) and I can cheat death with this last one by greatly increasing the lease time. I think this combination being an issue is a good clue but I haven't noodled through what it means. YMMV :-) Regards, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
