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><BR><EM>IP-Config: Complete:<BR>

<DIV><SPAN class=694302419-25092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
