Re: [ts-7000] Re: Redboot and kernel 2.6.21-ts

["Dustin Oprea" <>]

Can anyone offer pointers on booting to NFS with the new kernel? Can someone give me the boot parameters they have been using? I believe I am doing it correctly, but the farthest I have gotten is a root panic. I can't include the parameters I have been using because I don't currently have them at hand.


What's the root filesystem supposed to look like? Can I just copy my MTD filesystem into it?

Please note booting to the onboard flash has not yet been tested. I'll
make a bug report regarding your report.
