Subject: [ts-7000] Problem mounting Debian Sarge filesystem via NFS with 2.6.21 kernel

Hi;

I've been trying to follow the  Linux 2.6 for TS-72XX instructions from 
the TS website but have been unable to mount the root filesystem using 
NFS on my TS-7200. I have long been able to do this with the 2.4 kernel. 
I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here is what I've done:

* I downloaded their toolchain, their kernel sources (2.6.21), built the 
kernel according to their instructions, and it will boot from it.

* I downloaded the root file system tarball: 
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-linux-cd/distributions/debian-sarge-udev-11-15-2007.tar.gz
When I untarred it I noticed that it has an unexpected base path: 
/tmp/mnt , so I incorporated this into the /etc/exports path

    /home/ts7200/2.6/tmp/mnt 
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,insecure,async)

* I added the following line to /home/ts7200/2.6/tmp/mnt/etc/fstab:

    192.168.1.13:/home/ts7200/2.6/tmp/mnt / nfs exec,dev,suid 1 1

There was no line with /dev/hda1 to comment out - it had no root line at 
all.

* I am using RedBoot as follows:

    load -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/boot/vmlinux-2.6.21-ts_1
    exec -c "root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=192.168.1.13:/home/ts7200/2.6/debian-sarge-udev-11-15-2007 
console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=dhcp"

The load works fine. The boot starts, goes through a bit and then hangs 
trying to mount NFS, although it seems to respond fine the first time:

RedBoot> load -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/boot/vmlinux-2.6.21-ts_1
Address offset = 0x00218000
Entry point: 0x00218000, address range: 0x00218000-0x0037e468

console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=dhcp"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Notes:
    If I boot the old 2.4 kernel I can NFS mount the new root filesystem 
directory manually (to /mnt/nfsroot), so I know NFS is working properly.
    I have also tried it with the 'sync' property instead of async.
