Hi folks,
I have some problems getting Root-NFS to work properly.
On the server side is a linux 2.4.9 with tcp-wrapper (release 7.6) and portmapper (release 5) in use on a Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 box.
When using Root-NFS with linux-2.4.5 or later, I get the following messages repeatedly:
-- snip -- Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on <server-ip> RPC: sendmesg returned error 101 portmap: RPC call returned error 101 Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default -- snap --
In particular I tried 2.4.5, 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 on this with the same errors. I passed various nfsroot-options to the kernel (including nolock) with no success.
Surprisingly, when using 2.4.4 (or 2.2.19 which has dhcp-ipconfig as well) everything works just fine. I used the working config-2.4.4-nfsroot to compile one of the more recent kernels (which fails).
Starting with 2.4.5 net/ipv4/ipconfig.c has changed to add support of dhcp, so maybe it has something to do with this? According to tcpdump, IP-Config itself works alright though.
If you need any more information such as kernel-config, send me an email.
PLEASE: If anybody has a working 2.4.x nfsroot-kernel with x > 4, please send me your config so I can find the problem.
Kind regards, Jens Ruehmkorf
