Hi,

I have connected my omap3530 development board with the host machine
providing static ip. I have got stuck while mounting the rootfs via
nfs of the host m/c using static ip.
Please find the bootargs I am passing as kernel argument

serverip=192.168.1.2
ipaddr=192.168.1.4
netmask=255.255.255.0
bootcmd=tftp 80300000 /tftpboot/uImage;bootm 80300000
bootargs=console=ttyS2,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/home/embest/work/rootfs/
ip=192.168.1.4:192.168.1.2:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:eth0 init=/init
gatewayip=192.168.1.1
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

I am able to download uImage via tftp but not able to bind rootfs
using nfs.
following are the last few low level kernel debug comments

[ 1325.387939] eth0: link down
<6>eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xCDE1
[ 1325.656348] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xCDE1
<5>Sending DHCP and RARP requests .[ 1326.397033] Sending DHCP and
RARP requests .....
I do not know why it is sending DHCP request while I am passing static
ip as bootargs parameter.

I would appreciate someone helping me.

Thanks,
