Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have enabled nfs booting on ppc based embedded board. I had placed my kernel and rootfs in tftp directory, and had set the u-boot enivironment varialbes as:
setenv bootfile /image/kernel
setenv root_path /tftpboot/image
The board was booting with this configuration...
Now I have placed the kernel image and rootfs in /exports directory and have set the uboot variables as:
setenv bootfile /exports/image/kernel
setenv root_path /exports/image
I am not able to boot the board with the above directory. I am getting the error
Loading: T
TFTP error: 'File not found' (1)
Starting again.
May I know what could be the problem??

> Now I have placed the kernel image and rootfs in /exports
is /exportfs accesible via tftp protocol? It have to be tftp - not nfs.
Or maybe You should just reconfigure the tftp server to use new directory?
