Hi all,
i am having some problem in having root file system on NFS,
i am developing a linux embedded system,. when i have a root file
system on a NFS and i try to boot the kernel through a repeater hub ,
then the kernel hangs at freeing init memory.
if i connect the board with the PC through a cross cable,
then the system works ok.
does anybody has some idea about it

Can you mount nfs-shares from a desktop system through the repeater hub?
I guess, either the cable or the HUB is defective.
BTW: You should rather use a switch than a hub, especially for nfs.

Just a wild guess. Does it have anything with timeout. Probably hub
introduces delays which causes the hang. Defective cable does not
seem to be a case to me otherwise there would not have been any
communication at all.
