<br>
I have a dev board based loosely off the MPC8540ADS that I am trying to boot
over NFS. After setting up the proper kernel configuration and sharing the root
filesystem over NFS, I boot up the board. Everything loads up fine, and it even
says it mounts the root filesystem, however this is the output I get.<br>

font-family:Arial'>At this point, the serial console no longer displays or
accepts input from the keyboard. The system does not appear to hang, because
when I try to ping it from another point on the network, it responds. It seems
like either init is not executing at this point, or if the console is being
changed to another device. I wanted to know if anybody has had this problem
before. I tried building BusyBox as a static-linked binary, which has not
resolved the issue. I have also tried multiple root file system builds, which
has also not yielded a solution. Thanks for any assistance with this.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
