Hello, I'm not sure if this message really fits this list, since it's probably not really arm-specific. Anyhow, I'm running a NetWinder with potato from somewhere around early february this year (I haven't been able to upgrade the system.) The whole system is running on an nfs-root mounted from a ordinary pc running "Universal NFS Server 2.2beta47". With kernel 2.2.15-rmk1 it runs almost fine. It hangs sometimes on intensive file operations whith "RPC: rpciod waiting on sync task" as the last message on the console. Although this message appears frequently it doesn't hang at the first time it shows, but I guess the hang has something to do with it.
I few days ago I fetched kernel 2.4.0-rmk6 but using it on the netwinder is inpossible since booting and system startup succeds but always when I try starting to use it I get the same error message as above and the system hangs. I have compiled the kernel with the green LED blinking to show that the system is alive and it continues to blink when the system hangs. The system even responds to ping on the network, but it is inpossible to do anything that requires loading any information over nfs. // M --- This signature ought to be left blank, but is not.
