[QuestionIP_CONFIG : incomplete network configration info...

Hi all developers.
I ported ppcboot, linux kernel and ramdisk. when I boot kernel and ramdisk I got this message..

IP_CONFIG: Incomplete network configuration info
dev_cluse: bug eth0 still running....

but I got linux shell. and all linux function worked fine...... I use ppcboot and HardHat Linux kernel 2.2.14 following list is myboard_config.h

#define CONFIG_ETHADDR 08:00:30:31:32:33 /* Ethernet address */
#define CONFIG_IPADDR 55.121.204.131 /* Target IP address */
#define CONFIG_SERVERIP 55.121.204.174 /* Servier IP address */
#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5 /* autoboot after 5 seconds *

#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND \
"bootp ;" \
"setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0 " \
"root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=$(serverip):$(rootpath) " \
"ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip):$(gatewayip):$(netmask):$(hostname):eth0:off ;" \
"bootm"

I think CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND is imcomplte.
Could someone describe how to use this BOOTCOMMAND for booting with ramdisk any comments will help me.. thanks.

I don't think _all_ developers are interested in this.

Please send PPCBoot related messages to the PPCBoot mailing list instead.

That means you are passing incomplete network configuration to the kernel.

When the kernel starts, it prints a line with the boot arguments which were passed to it. There must be some parameters missing; probably the "rootpath" environment variable is not set.

No, it it OK. But your BOOTP server configuration in probably incomplete.

Now when you want to boot with a ramdisk, you definitely DO NOT want to pass "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=$(serverip):$(rootpath)" as part of the boot arguments!

Try "root=/dev/ram" instead!
