</div></div>If I had to guess (since you didn't include any boot logs, that's<br>
pretty much all I can do), I'd say that your NFS mount of the root<br>
file system isn't working.<br>
<br>
You can always try and see if you can even boot into a shell manually,<br>
by adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel command line.<br>
<br>
Have you tried booting without using NFS, and verifying that you can<br>
mount the NFS volume?<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br><br>Hi Prajosh,<br><br>Could you post what exact error are you getting.<br>I had a very similar problem recently when trying to boot the kernel using tftp and then mounting the Rootfs over NFS.<br>
The issue I faced was that the Rootfs' /dev directory was not correctly populated and was missing the /dev/console device.<br><br>I was getting an error on the lines of "Unable to start init console" and I too spent time mucking about in my inittab.<br>
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Raseel<br></div></div>
