OK, now I made some more tests, the system failed while reading ld-2.3.2.so, here is the network dump on the NFS server: 10:57:00.329981 10.0.0.249.291553246 > 10.0.0.226.2049: 116 lookup fh Unknown/1 "ld-2.3.2.so" (DF) (ttl 64, id 0, len 144) 10:57:00.330027 10.0.0.226.2049 > 10.0.0.249.291553246: reply ok 128 lookup fh Unknown/1 REG 100755 ids 0/0 sz 90288 nlink 1 rdev 0 fsid 1 nodeid 23057ab9 a/m/ctime 1115110068.000000 1114704371.000000 1114704371.000000 (DF) (ttl 64, id 0, len 156) 10:57:00.330100 10.0.0.249.308330462 > 10.0.0.226.2049: 112 read fh Unknown/1 4096 bytes @ 0 (DF)(ttl 64, id 0, len 140) 10:57:00.330166 10.0.0.226.2049 > 10.0.0.249.308330462: reply ok 1472 read REG 100755 ids 0/0 sz 90288 nlink 1 rdev 0 fsid 1 nodeid 23057ab9 a/m/ctime 1115110620.000000 1114704371.000000 1114704371.000000 (frag 42838:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (ttl 64, len 1500) It goes further reading this file and at the end: 10:57:00.332129 10.0.0.226.2049 > 10.0.0.249.610320350: reply ok 1472 read REG 100755 ids 0/0 sz 90288 nlink 1 rdev 0 fsid 1 nodeid 23057ab9 a/m/ctime 1115110620.000000 1114704371.000000 1114704371.000000 (frag 42856:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (ttl 64, len 1500) 10:57:00.332135 10.0.0.226 > 10.0.0.249: (frag 42856:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (ttl 64, len 1500) 10:57:00.332141 10.0.0.226 > 10.0.0.249: (frag 42856:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (ttl 64, len 1264) 10:57:00.332146 10.0.0.249.660651998 > 10.0.0.226.2049: 112 read fh Unknown/1 4096 bytes @ 57344 (DF) (ttl 64, id 0, len 140) 10:57:00.332196 10.0.0.249.677429214 > 10.0.0.226.2049: 112 read fh Unknown/1 4096 bytes @ 61440 (DF) (ttl 64, id 0, len 140) 10:57:00.332212 10.0.0.226.2049 > 10.0.0.249.627097566: reply ok 1472 read REG 100755 ids 0/0 sz 90288 nlink 1 r Well, we can call it SPROTCH! It seems to crash. I suspect something incompatible between a 2.4 kernel and something here, but I can't find a way to build a 2.4 compatible NFSroot. Any ideas are welcome. François.
