i.mx51: Kernel Panic while booting from NFS eith uboot

MarcoDiVivo87 — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 15:22:20 GMT

Hi everybody...

I'm trying to boot my kernel from NFS... i have some problem with env. variables on Uboot. I set the following variables :

setenv bootargs_nfs
setenv bootcmd_net
setenv bootargs_base
setenv uboot_addr
setenv uboot
setenv kernel
setenv load_uboot
setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.100
setenv nfsroot /home/marco/ltib/rootfs

and add this for DVI(all in one shot) :

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 video=mxcdi0fb:RGB24,1024x768M-16@60 di1_primary root=/dev/nfs ip=$(ipaddr) nfsroot=192.168.0.2:$/home/marco/Scrivania/work/ltib/rootfs,v3,tcp

boot

this is my printenv list :

BBG U-Boot > printenv
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
loadaddr=0x90800000
netdev=eth0
ethprime=FEC0
ethact=FEC0
nfssetenv=bootargs consolserverip):,v3,tc
bootcmd=mmc read 0 $(loadaddr) 2000 2000; bootm
serverip=192.168.0.2
ipaddr=192.168.0.100
nfsroot=/tftpboot/fs_imx51
bootargs=console=ttymxc0,115200 video=mxcdi0fb:RGB24,1024x768M-16@60 di1_primary root=/dev/nfs ip=192.168.0.100 nfsroot=192.168.0.2:/home/marco/ltib/rootfs,v3,tp
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

Environment size: 444/131068 bytes

this is the error while booting(last rows) :

I can't know what is the problem... i tried to modify with chmod the /rootfs..but nothing...

Can anyone help me ??

Thanks a lot !

Your rootfs points to an nfs which the kernel seems to be unable to mount.

Try this something like this:

setenv nfsroot '/tools/rootfs/mx35/rootfs'
setenv bootargs_base 'setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 ip=${ipaddr}'
setenv bootargs_nfs 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${nfsroot},v3,tcp'
setenv bootcmd_nfs 'run bootargs_base bootargs_nfs ; nfs ${loadaddr} ${serverip}:${nfsroot}/boot/uImage;bootm'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_nfs'
saveenv

Also check the obvious, ethernet connection and verify if the nfs server is running on you host

Wth the 'nfs' command you load the uImage over nfs at the loadaddr in memory.

The bootm command boots the loaded image
