to marc :

I got the same error: 

IP-Config: Complete:
      device=eth0, addr=218.192.171.39, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=218.192.171.254,

VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

From the log message, rootpath= is empty,but I got the log message in nfs server to indicate the client do login the nfs server. And my root command line was set: 

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=218.192.171.46:/f/target,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 ip=218.192.171.39:218.192.171.46:218.192.171.254:255.255.255.0"

To wentao:

I has copied root fs from <target> to NFS share dir, changed /bin/*.exe to *. But got the same error. Is it the /dev error? I has not change anything in /dev (there are so many such file:@console,c,5,1,@hda,b,3,0...)

What to do next? Thanks.
