I'm using instructions at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-nfs-root-howto.txt I've passed section 3 (using tftp) to verify network /dhcp etc. (i.e. I'm able to tftp-get a file to ps3 from kboot's ash shell (busybox). i'm trying to mount the nfs server as per section 4. with ~# mount -t nfs -o nolock 192.168.99.1:/target /mnt/remote I get the following error message: mount: mounting 192.168.99.1:/target on /mnt/remote failed if I boot the PS3 from the HD, then I am able to mount the nfs directory. Using wireshark, I can see the initial dhcp traffic, (and when present the tftp traffic). the mount command doesn't open a network connection to the server, So I have pretty much ruled out server configuration. running "strings" on the decompressed kboot image yeilds serveral nfs symbols, so it appears to still support nfs mounting. (using version kboot-20080609.bld from geoff's dir at kernel.org) I have tried googling, and searching the various mailing lists, but am stuck. any help would be appreciated GT [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1395 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
