Hi hippo,

I already tried that option but i get the error as "wrong number of arguments for mount"

I have followed the following link to build my kernel:

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/%c2%b5clinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/%c2%b5clinux)

with few modification like adding the SMC91111 device driver for networking . I also tried to enable the mount option in the busybox when I enable "Customize Vendor/User Settings".

I dont know if I am making any error.

Please help

Please read the section about nfs in the coldfire uclinux note,

http://www.uclinux.org/ports/coldfire/notes.html (http://www.uclinux.org/ports/coldfire/notes.html)

You may use the busybox mount, and enable the nfs support in busybox mount.

You need to clean up, with "make -C user/busybox clean" , and "make subdirs" "make romfs" again.

You may also try stand-alone mount in File system utility of uCLinux-dist.

Hi hippo,

thanx for your reply but it seems nothing is working. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif (

I tried to compile according to the link you mentioned in your last msg but i cannot run Portmap. it says "Bad comman or filename" Can you please tell me what this portmap is?

I tried the way you mentioned but still no success.

I tried to mount using "busybox mount " but it gives an error that "mount:applet not found"

stand alone "mount" doesnt compile.

I am working on Altera stratix device. is it that on Altera devices this is not support. just asking a question as i dont know why its not working. Also when i look inthe "romfs/bin" directory then I can find busybox links to all the routines I enabled while running "make menuconfig" eg.,

busybox

cat -> busybox

hostname -> busybox

inetd

init

kill -> busybox

ls -> busybox

mkdir -> busybox

mount -> busybox

mv -> busybox

netstat -> busybox

ping -> busybox

rm -> busybox

sh

telnetd

touch -> busybox

umount -> busybox

but when I download the kernel on the development board and i look into the "bin" directory I cant find all there.. just the ping and netstat

I also tried changing the default vendor settings in ~/uClinux-dist-test/vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/config.vendor and enabled the CONFIG_USER_BUSYBOX_MOUNT, but still nothing.

I enabled the sh shell in the busybox option in menuconfig in the hope it will work but when I type "sh" after downloading the kernel to the development board it doesnt appear that I am getting the sh shell. Can you tell me how will i get to know that i got the sh shell.

Please help ....

Thanks in advance

Yes, the standalone mount can&#39;t not compile.

You have to use busybox mount.

The dependency list does not work well in uCinux-dist.

So you need "make -C user/busybox clean" to cleanup the busybox.

Then "make" "make romfs" and "make linux image" .

We use sash shell, it is smaller than busybox and take less memory.

You don&#39;t need sh in busybox.

You can check what is in busybox, by running "busybox" on uClinux.

You can check what is in sash, by "help" .

You don&#39;t need portmap, if you use "-o nolock" mount flag.

Hi hippo,

I built everything from scrap today and everything is working perfectly. thanx for your help.
