VFS: Cannot open root device, nfsroot
Subsystems (2)
Hi everyone,
I got the error:
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for linux NET4.0
ds: no socket drivers loaded request_module[block-major-8]: root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device ""or 08:03 Please append a correct "root"boot option
The strange thing is that it tries to mount from harddisk. This I got = somewhere else:
"the kernel looks like it is trying to boot off of 08:03, which is =
correct, /dev/sda3."
sda3 is indeed the root partition of the scsi harddisk.
It seems the kernel tries to mount /dev/sda3 as root instead of mounting = the directory offered by nfsserver.
Getting kernel goes ok, so there seems to be some misunderstanding = between pxelinux config file and nfsserver.
These are my config files:
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default I got:
LABEL linux
KERNEL bzImage
APPEND root=3D/dev/nfs ip=3Ddhcp nfsroot=3D192.168.1.1:/netboot/base
/etc/exports:
/netboot/base 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)
/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL:ALL
/etc/hosts.deny:
is empty
rpcinfo -p : says portmapper, mountd and nfs are active.
My log that logs all says nothing after DHCPPACK for ip assignment by = dhcpd and "tftp: client does not accept options" which is normal I = understand.
I have also tried to use other kernels and root filesystems (in = /netboot/base, client was supposed to nfs) but without succes. The kernels I made all gave the error:
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for linux NET4.0
ds: no socket drivers loaded request_module[block-major-8]: root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device ""or 08:03 Please append a correct "root"boot option
And a kernel I ripped of a bootflop gave not the error:
ds: no socket drivers loaded
but has propably not the necessary modules for nfsroot compiled.
I am at a loss, I have no idee why it's not working. If anyone has a sugestion I would very much apreciate it.
