Comment 2 for bug 181258

Thanks for answering.

I did not built initrams because this step was not in the howto.
The client is exactly the same machine as the server, I am only making a test. I know both network cards work fine (at list when used with their local root filesystem).

As for your last question I am not sure I understand you. These machines only have one network card and the device is called eth0 everywhere. I never used eth1, eth2.... in any step of the diskless procedure. The client is doing a pxe lan boot enabled in its bios.

anyway i am going to try your suggestion and include the nic module in the initrams.
I guess I have to make the inclusion before I copy the whole filesystem on /nfsroot, isn't it?
anyway could you please explain why the stuff now present on the server in the nfs dir (which i call /nfsroot) works fine for local boot on the client and requires this inclusion to work via nfs from the server? once the client receives his ip address and loads the vmlinuz end initrrd file I thought it also loaded the root filesystem, the same which worked fine as a local filesystem!
