Network Boot issue

Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:26 pm

I followed the Network boot your Raspberri Pi Tutorial and was able to get the second pi to boot but I am only getting a screen with the raspberries on it and it will not load any further.
This is what the log file is showing:

If it shows 4x the Raspberry icon, it did finish network booting, and started the Linux kernel.

If it does not output anything else, you may want to remove "quiet" from cmdline.txt to see if you can get the kernel to be a little bit more verbose about what it is doing, and where it may hang on. nfs?

it is a pi 3 and I was finally able to get it to respond but it errors out saying the kernel failed.

I tried to run all the updates and it says it is up to date.

Make sure your NFS server is functioning properly...
And you have the right options in cmdline.txt, so that it gets the files of your Linux distribution from there (along the lines of: ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=1.2.3.4:/full-path-to-folder-exported-by-nfs)

It does look like a problem finding the NFS export for the root filesystem.

Where do you look at these settings? what should it be seeing there?
