NFS Server problem

Hi,

I have sucessfully ported U-boot on MPC8280 board. I am using FCC2 for ethernet. I am able to boot Linux correctly. But sometimes I face some strange problems such as the board suddenly stops responding to commands saying:

=======================================
nfs: server not responding, still trying
=======================================

Sometimes, the board continues after printing,
=======================================
nfs: server OK
=======================================
but sometimes the board just hangs. Earlier I have ported U-boot to sbc8260 board and there I was using SCC for ethernet. I never faced such problems there. Is this problem (on MPC8280) because of any problems in FCC ethernet configuration?

thanks in advance,

regards,
Sudhakar.

What did you see when tracing the network traffic? You did trace the traffic, didn't you?

sudhakar,

What kernel are you using to support the 8280, and what patches have you applied if any (to u-boot and to the kernel)?

I am working with an mpc8270.

Contact me off list if you like - this is slightly off topic for the u-boot list.
