Hi Bdale,

Thanks for your response. 
I found the bug in the lasi-ethernet driver, so it works now ! The problem
was, that the kernel crashed right after going to user-mode, and so I assumed
that it was a general kernel-related problem and not related to the
lasi-ethernet-driver.

This is fixed now in CVS. People, who have older machines are now able
to boot the kernel via nfsroot.

Helge.
