[U-Boot] Hang while booting kernel via tftp/nfs on cubieboard2

[Ajay Garg]

Hi All.


a)
As a pre-requisite, on the host-machine (serverip 192.168.0.1), the
nfs-export is listed fine :

ajay at latitude-3480:~showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/srv/nfs/cubieboard2 *


b)
The zImage and dtb files have been generated from 4.6 kernel, as per steps at
https://github.com/maronai/cubieboard/wiki/3.1.-Compiling-mainline-kernel-for-CubieBoard2-and-CubieTruck


Now, when trying to boot cubieboard2 via tftp/nfs, I get a hang, all
details as below :

What am I doing wrong? In general, how do I proceed to debug to get
this working?

Will be grateful for pointers.


Thanks and Regards,
