I see the support is in the kernel(?). I have tried this: > [root@Server ~]# cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/0A0101 > SERIAL 0 9600 > Say > > SAY Hello > > SAY Trying NFS > SAY ramdisk_size=10000 debug ip=dhcp initrd=NFS/initrd.gz lang=us apm=power-off console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 quiet root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.12:/tftpboot/NFS/Root_FS init=/bin/bash > > Default NFS/vmlinuz > > append ramdisk_size=10000 debug ip=10.1.1.50 initrd=NFS/initrd.gz lang=us apm=power-off console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 quiet root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.12:/tftpboot/NFS/Root_FS init=/bin/bash I get "mount: could not find file system: '/dev/root'" and then a kernel panic. I am using the FC5 kernel and the FC5 initrd.gz as you can see above. > [root@Server ~]# ls -lrt /tftpboot/NFS/ > total 2636 > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 26 18:41 SAVE > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 932077 Nov 26 18:51 initrd.gz > drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Nov 26 19:18 Root_FS > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1732515 Nov 26 19:37 vmlinuz I tried to build a new kernel many times, but that process failed. Am I missing something? Do I need to change linuxrc? Does someone have a simple example of how to do an NFS Root FS? Would appreciate any points. -- Thanks for your time.
