Hi all!
I just bumped into a problem I'm unable to fix by
myself. I decided to put my old IBM Thinkpad 755CX to some use. Since I had a
Slackware 4 cd I thought I'd try an nfs install with a pcmcia card (I don't have
a cd in the laptop). So I start off by making a bootdisk with bareapm.i and a
rootdisk with pcmcia.gz. I boot the laptop with the bootdisk and give the
command 'ramdisk root=/dev/fd0' at the bootpromt. The I insert the pcmia disk
when prompted and run setup, setting up all partitons I need I get to the point
where I state what source disk to use. I choose nfs and give my network info
(IP, Netmask, D.G., nfs-server IP). The computer then tries to mount the nfs
drive, but it doesn't work. Logging in on tty2 and running the command
rpc.portmap -d i get the following error message:
portmap [588]: cannot bind udp: address already in
use
The question is: what address? I tried changing the
hardware address for the eth0 device, but that didn't help. I've used different
IP addresses, but that didn't help either. I've used three different pcmcia
cards; 3c563D, 3c589D and a Xircom CEM56-100, but no luck. Anyone have any idea
what I have overlooked?
TIA
/Peter
