Hi, Gary, Exactly where and when is it complaining (and what's the exact message)? We do not re-mount /boffiles as read/write (we leave it as read-only) and it works OK for us. Dave P.S. Thanks for the kind words! :-) On Jun 6, 2013, at 10:25 AM, Gary, Dale E. wrote: > You are a genius!

Hi Dave, Hmm, I was just trying to follow the instructions in the roach nfs guide, which says to create a directory named etch to put the root file system. I probably renamed the directory to etch. Will that matter? It is the correct file system--just a different directory name. However, I fix

Hi, Dale and Nimish, In addition to running an older kernel as others have pointed out, I think you might also be using an older root file system: On Jun 5, 2013, at 5:59 PM, Nimish Sane wrote: > Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs > rootpath=192.100.16.206:/srv/roach2_boot

Ah, now I see. I also have the ROACH-1 uImage on the system, and our tftp server used to point to it. I changed the tftp server-args to point to the new directory, but I'll bet the server did not restart and is still pointing to the old one. I will track that down. Thanks! Dale On Thu, Jun 6,

I think John has the right idea: it looks like your server is serving a ROACH 1 uimage to your ROACH 2. We ran into this at NRAO once before as well, but perhaps the other way around. On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 9:51 AM, John Ford wrote: >> Hi John, >> >> Thanks for the reply. My uImage checksum for

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. My uImage checksum for uImage-r2borph3 agrees with yours. I do not have any uImage-current, and do not understand why there would be two uImages. I will assume you are running two different ROACH2 versions and that I should be using only the uImage-r2borph3 one, b

In our R2 systems, we have the following kernel: root@vegasr2-2:~# uname -a Linux vegasr2-2 3.7.0-rc2+ #20 Fri Jan 4 18:04:26 SAST 2013 ppc GNU/Linux I'm pretty sure the Roach-2 kernels are all 3.x. Can you get a checksum (md5sum) of the uimage? I think you have the right one, but it may be too
