Yes it was the IP_PNP and NFS_ROOT options that were necessary. however now i am faced with another problem which didn't quite notice before. the kernel complains IP-Config : No network devices available. Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.0.100 portmap : RPC call returned error 101 Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default. repeat of above error. Root-NFS: Server returned -101 while mounting /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS trying floppy .. i am not quite sure if the error means that the network card is not configured or the there is a problem with nfs server itself. the network card i have is 0000:06:07.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) i am using e1000 driver. thank you, regards john. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
