I would bet that NFS is not running on 192.168.1.248.
Your kernel command line is trying to point the newly
booted kernel to access its root filesystem through an
NFS mount point on 192.168.1.248, specifically,
th directory: /opt/eldk/ppc_8xx.

1) make sure NFS is running,
   on RHL, try, e.g., '/etc/init.d/nfs status'
2) make sure you have a well-formed /etc/exports file
   try, e.g.,  '/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx *(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)'
3) make sure the mount point '/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx' exists and
   contains an image of the ELDK PPC/8xx root filesystem
4) run 'exportfs -ra' after starting NFS the first time, to synchronize info
5) boot your target again
