[Buildroot] NFS file system problem

Fri Oct 16 12:49:07 UTC 2009

Hi,

I can't seem to get Linux to mount an NFS root file system. It doesn't even attempt 
to try and mount it. It actually is mounting the resident file system which is what 
I'm trying to bypass. I'm pretty sure the bootargs passed from U-Boot are correct. 

Here's my output during bootup. Can anyone spot what is wrong?

thanks
