[ELDK] Can't execute bin file

Ok, looks good.  I presume this is directly on the NFS server, correct?
Did you try to mount the filesystem from another machine and check if
there are any obvious problems?

Looks good.

no_root_squash is definitely needed to boot the system so testing
without it does not make much sense.

It would be a big surprise if this is a configuration problem.  As long
as you use the "sequoia_defconfig" in the kernel, there should be no
problem here.

Actually the only other thing explaining the "cannot execute" would be
if bin/bash has a problem inside the NFS root.  This would also explain
why you cannot login.

I would suggest re-installing the ELDK from scratch to get a clean and
working NFS root again.

If you want to debug further, I'd suggest booting the sequoia from a
ramdisk and then mount the NFS filesystem.  Then use chroot to test
/bin/bash in the NFS mounted area....

Cheers
