FW: [syslinux] NFS error 101, again

[Steve Oliphant]

I have been successful with configuring TCP on a 2.4.23 kernel that was
built 
with the "IP: kernel level autoconfiguration" turned on with the following
append line:

APPEND initrd=rootfs.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw
ip=192.168.0.175::192.168.0.1:255.255.255.0
                                                  ^              ^
^
                                                  |              |
|
                                               <my-ip>        <gw-ip>
<netmask>

I refer you to http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/BootPrompt-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.4
for a
complete explanation of the parameters

The second argument (ommitted here - was not being used) is the nfs server
I have found that all of the relevant parameters need to be specified or TCP
will not configure

Hope this helps.

I tried both, and nfsaddrs is still documented and properly set up in the
source code.

I'll give it a try - although it's documented that ip=dhcp is just fine,
and the hint to use exactly that was given quite frequently in various
fora. 

Very strange.
