I am setiing up FAI in a lab with about 30 machines on i386
architecture. I am trying to compile a custom kernel with the 2.4.21
testing source from the debian archives. I have created and edited my
own .config file to include the following section for network file
systems

# Network File Systems
#
# CONFIG_CODA_FS is not set
# CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS is not set
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is not set


After issueing the following command, the kernel configuration
changes:

# make-kpkg --append_to_version xxx --revision=xxx kernel-image


# Network File Systems
#
# CONFIG_CODA_FS is not set
# CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS is not set
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
# CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is not set
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is not set


Does anyone know why CONFIG_ROOT_NFS would be changed back to "is not
set"? I have had the same problem with the 2.4.20 kernel as well.

Thanks,

-Aaron

I solved my own problem. I had to have CONFIG_IP_PNP turned on for
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS to stay set during make-kpkg.
