hi all.
following the gentoo docs on alternative installation methods, ive managed to boot my slave laptop. for some reason it freezes with a nonresponsive, blinking cursor until i do a cold reboot of the slave (ive tried leaving it on for several minutes, without progress) after the following output:
| Quote: | [text]
eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
., OK
[text]
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 284k freed
INIT: version 2.86 booting |
first of all, according to my /diskless/192.168.0.10/etc/fstab it shoud be mounted rw:
my /diskless/192.168.0.10/etc/fstab:
| Quote: | master:/diskless/192.168.0.10 / nfs sync,hard,intr,rw,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
master:/opt /opt nfs sync,hard,intr,ro,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
master:/usr /usr nfs sync,hard,intr,ro,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
master:/home /home nfs sync,hard,intr,rw,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# useful but superfluous
master:/var/log /var/log nfs hard,intr,rw 0 0 |
ive doublechecked - /di*/1*/sbin/init and rc are in place.
my /di*/1*/etc/runlevels/boot:

some of the last entries from tcpdump:

the 2 very last entries appear about 1 second AFTER the aforementioned INIT: version 2.86 booting message.
slave laptop is on broadcom 440x nic. master and slave kernels compiled with appropriate nfs server/client support.
ive only found one info source on something similar: http://lists.gllug.org.uk/pipermail/gllug/2004-September/047195.html
suggested answers involve duplex mismatch and use of alternative rsize/wsize values, none of which i believe are misconfigured in my case.
any ideas?
as a side note, whats up with the crazy port numbers in tcpdump?

| dude, using that stupid avatar, i hope nobody helps you. You know, i dont have a religion, so probably do you. But making fun about the religion and believes of other people should not be of your business. maybe when you remove that avatar, people will listen and pay atention to you |
