"Protocol not supported error" after mount


Hello friends,
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?

Linux kernel version :Linux freescale 2.6.24.6

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

I suspect all you need is to load the NFS module into the kernel.

# modprobe <nfs_module>


Look it /lib/modules for the name of the nfs module.

As i remember, the problem was with kernel configuration. You should select "nfs support" and a few other things...

Just to be more detailed I have a board Spear300 from where I'm trying to mount an nfs folder from a linux fedora 13 server and the error is:

# mount 192.168.4.105:/share /mnt/home
mount: mounting 192.168.4.105:/share on /mnt/home failed: Protocol not supported

You just need to do make menuconfig and enable NFS:

Quote:
NFS file system support (CONFIG_NFS_FS) [y]
It can be compiled part of the kernel or as a module.

If it is a module, you may need to load the driver something like

Quote:
modprobe nfs

I run menuconfig but the answer is:

[root@fedora13 Python-2.6]# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.

What should I do ?

Thx

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?

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'.

On the server side, there is no kernel component.
