Description Qing He 2011-02-22 23:04:07 UTC 
using sato images from 
http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org/nightly/20110212-1/qemu/qemuppc/

when running poky-qemu and using nfsroot, it hangs in the middle of the boot process:

# poky-qemu qemuppc /path/to/rootfs
...
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:12
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k init
nfs: server 192.168.7.1 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 192.168.7.1 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 192.168.7.1 not responding, still trying
nfs: server 192.168.7.1 not responding, still trying



This issue doesn't happen on qemux86
Comment 1 Qing He 2011-02-22 23:06:01 UTC 
Because usual nfs-utils doesn't have the option to mount custom nfsprog and mountprog, I can not verify whether the unfs works well.

However, with kernel nfs as the server, the boot still fails, while the kernel server is fully functional
