66AK2H EVMK2H System halts on boot

I recently succeeded in getting an EVMK2H board to boot via TFTP/NFS and have been able to connect to it via SSH. I was trying to install the toolkit on the EVM and, as instructed by the user guide, rebooted the board (via "reboot" shell command).

From that point on, the system won't boot anymore. These are the last lines printed by the kernel:

[   19.588839] IP-Config: Complete:
[   19.591989]      device=eth0, hwaddr=b4:99:4c:9b:d0:d2, ipaddr=129.132.157.78, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=129.132.157.1
[   19.602186]      host=keystone-board, domain=, nis-domain=(none)
[   19.608045]      bootserver=129.132.4.35, rootserver=129.132.4.35, rootpath=
[   19.614763]      nameserver0=129.132.98.12, nameserver1=129.132.250.2
[   19.656873] VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:11.
[   19.662751] Freeing unused kernel memory: 328K (c0700000 - c0752000)
[   30.111110] System halted.

These are the kernel parameters:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200n8 rootwait=1 verbose debug ignore_loglevel rootfstype=nfs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=129.132.4.35:/scratch/cunokl/keystone-blank,v3,tcp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096 mtdparts=davinci_nand.0:1024k(bootloader)ro,512k(params)ro,129536k(ubifs) nfsrootdebug mem=512M ip=129.132.157.78:129.132.4.35:129.132.157.1:255.255.255.0:keystone-board:eth0:off:129.132.98.12:129.132.250.2

I also tried unpackaging a new root filesystem (tisdk-rootfs.tar.gz) and booting using that one, but I get exactly the same result.
Any ideas?

    Hi Cuno Lorenz,

    I guess, the tool kit you mean is MCSDK... right? . Actually you should install the MCSDK on the Linux host machine and not on the EVM. If not MCSDK, what is the toolkit you installed on EVM?

    Please post the complete boot logs.

    Follow the below links to program the EVM again and boot.

    Hello Shankari,

    sorry, I had fixed the issue in the meantime. My mistake: I failed to update the kernel images correctly on the TFTP server and was using a rootfs from a newer version with an older kernel.
    I updated the kernel images and now the system boots and works correctly.

    Thank you anyway. :)
