I came to the point with my kernel 2.6 (patched by Grant) struggle on ml403 that it reaches the stage to mount nfs root file system from the computer which is on another segment of the network:
[ 2.565946] eth%d: XTemac: PHY detected at address 3. [ 2.629348] eth0: Xilinx TEMAC #0 at 0x81200000 mapped to 0xC5020000,rq=1 [ 2.713113] eth0: XTemac id 1.0f, block id 5, type 8 [ 2.774335] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice [ 2.837152] TCP cubic registered [ 2.876220] NET: Registered protocol family 1 [ 2.928569] NET: Registered protocol family 17 [ 3.485990] eth0: XTemac: Options: 0xb8f2 [ 7.517827] eth0: XTemac: We renegotiated the speed to: 100 [ 7.584504] eth0: XTemac: speed set to 100Mb/s [ 8.652764] IP-Config: Unable to set interface netmask (-22). [ 8.724733] Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 129.129.130.106 It cannot however go through the gateway because the macaddress is not properly set (ie. it is set to 00:00:00:00). My command line argument looks like: CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyUL0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=129.129.130.106:/opt/eldk41/ppc_4xx,tcp macaddr=00:50:c2:46:d8:01 ip=129.129.129.29:129.129.130.106:129.129.129.1:255.255.255.0:ML403:eth0:off panic=1" Does somebody know why the macaddress is not taken into account.
