I have an ads5121rev4 board. I couldn't manage to start linux over nfs. It gets stuck after "freeing init memory" part.
So i decided to start linux from jffs2 image in the flash. It starts without any problems. Next i tried to mount an nfs folder.
Code:
mount -o nolock 10.18.6.233:/home/yg/mpc5121/nfs yigit
this time it gives an error:
Code:
mount: Mounting 10.18.6.233:/home/yg/mpc5121/nfs on yigit failed: Protocol not supported
I can ping to/from the board, no problem with network..What may be the problem with mounting? Do you think both problems are nfs configuration related? What can i do to solve?
Hi I have the same problem, did you solve it? If so, please tell me how you did. Thanks.

You just need to do make menuconfig and enable NFS:
A slight oversimplification. You need to re-build and install the kernel. You would do so by using the menuconfig to set the appropriate variables for building the NFS client code as either a built-in or loadable module.
It may already exist as a loadable module. Have you tried loading that?

Reason: typo fix
Whatever side is reporting the 'Protocol not supported' error. I think that is what I meant when I said 'set the appropriate variables for building the NFS client code'.
