notoneofmyseeds, Note that I said in the other thread that there are many ways to set up USB automounting in Linux. The hardest way to set up is using udev rules (sometime you want to control the automounting at a lower level). That's why I posted the instruction here. However, the easier way to set up is using usbmount or autofs. Quote ~# apt-cache show usbmount Package: usbmounby bodhi - Debian

If you have a lot of plugs, there are many different reasons why you would want to boot from NFS root. Even more so if local storage is not needed for each plug.

@Gravelrash, I think we need to add info about version 3 and version 4. How to export V3 NFS and V4 NFS shares (base on the syntax). And how a client can choose to mount the version. Since everything is default to V4, but a lot of V3 clients are still out there (stock, u-boot,....) For example, current U-Boot only works with V3.

notoneofmyseeds, Remember that this rootfs is a basic rootfs. I've intentionally made it that way to keep it small and lean for an initial installation. To have all disks/partitions mounted during boot and presented to the users/application, you will need to install more packages. Automount can be set up with a few different ways in Linux.

I still think you should double check the fw file in /lib/firmware. Somtime it is in /lib/firmware/4.6/xxx and sometime it is in /lib/firmware/xxx. Looks like it failed during loading fw.by bodhi - Debian

1. My recommendation in general. Your netconsole has already been set up for these IPs: ipaddr=192.168.1.12 serverip=192.168.1.11 Have you tried to connect netconsole for another Linux box? If you could it would be much easier for you to see the real problem. Of course it is easiest if you have serial console connected.
