Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.

Hi,

For the 8 last days I try to find why Linux don't run with QEmu.

Here is the bug's log : http://pastebin.com/sY4yEypE


Please, give me the exacts steps to follow.

Thanks

Are these suspects:


mtd: partition "root" extends beyond the end of device "NAND 64MiB 3,3V
8-bit" -- size truncated to 0x3aa0000
0x000000000000-0x000040000000 : "nand"
mtd: partition "nand" extends beyond the end of device "NAND 64MiB 3,3V
8-bit" -- size truncated to 0x4000000

How big is your kernel?  What version of u-boot are you using?

"Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up."

What is your kernel command line? It seems this kernel is configured to
mount its root filesystem via NFS.

Hi,

First, I've done this :
http://benoit.vince84.free.fr/mediawiki-1.16.0/index.php5?title=QEmu


So the kernel don't come from me.

Then I'have put that in u-boot prompt :

#run set_bootargs_nand
#saveenv
#setenv bootcmd 'nboot.e kernel ; bootm'

Thanks

Hmm, then I guess the kernel can't use the NAND (as Dave guessed) as a root
filesystem source and falls back to NFS. Maybe you should try on real
hardware instead of QEMU?

Try adding "root=dev/ram" to the kernel command line options. I got the
sparc kernel to boot on qemu using this tweak. You might also have to turn
off sound and video. If that still does not work then try turning off
networking and all else as well.
