Having followed the instructions in section A.5 of the getting started guide (extracting dm355_flash_image.....tar to /tmp/filesys and setting bootargs to 'console=ttys0,115200n8 noinitrd ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.124.130:/tmp/filesys,nolock mem=116M') I am still not booting. Below is as far as the console shows:

I know the IP addresses are correct, and I can mount the NFS share on the host linux machine; I can also see NFS traffic by running a tcpdump on the host linux machine, yet it hangs.
My current suspicion is that there are files missing in my dm355_flash_image_1_30_00_23.tar file - is there a location I can download this from, or possibly could someone gzip up the root of a fresh dev board for me?
Cheers
Is this the entire boot log? If so, it does not appear you got far enough for the system to even attempt an NFS mount; this may be due to corrupt Linux kernel or incompatible software. What version of DVSDK are you using? I assume you are running this on a TI EVM?

Yes, this is running on a DM355 EVM board. All the flash has been wiped and started from scratch, uploading UBL and u-boot using the UART flashing utility and transfered the kernel uImage-dm355 over tftp.
The host linux system does show a mounted NFS shared from the device also:
$ showmount -aAll mount points on hostname:192.168.124.131:/tmp/filesys$
I think the error is in your bootargs, you have console=ttys0,115200n8 whereas it should be console=ttyS0,115200n8, I believe having that capital wrong will make the kernel confused when it tries to find your output console, so all you see is the boot loader preparing the kernel and as soon as the boot arguments are passed and the kernel starts the console will go dead.
How blind of me - now getting some more messages, but its not yet given my a login prompt.

Bernie,
Good catch, a capital letter would certainly make a difference and this specific typo would explain why you do not see anymore output on the serial terminal.
So is there a reason why the kernel isn't going on to load init from the (apparently successful) NFS mounted filesystem?
I don't see any init errors in the log you posted, but normally if you are having an init failure (it asks you to try a init= option in the bootargs) that means that either
1. Your filesystem is not in place, such as if you are mounting a folder that does not contain the filesystem files, or that is at least missing some of the critical filesystem files.
2. Your filesystem was damaged moving it into place, if symbolic links were not preserved when copying files into the filesystem folder than you can end up with a init failure. This could be remedied by untaring the file system directly into the NFS mount folder, or by copying it in with the -r option using cp. Note that you probably want to be logged in as root when extracting a filesystem on the host.
As far as I know all the symbolic links are in place, although /linuxrc was pointing to /bin/busybox which I updated to bin/busybox (this may just have been a bad link on the host system). As you say, it's not kicking an error up saying init cannot be found, and it does exist in /sbin/init as one would expect.
Are there files that are not in the tarball flash image that would be needed possibly?
[edit] I haven't been logged in as root as this is very bad practise - none of the file operations have failed due to lack of priviledges though
Found the problem - I had a physical file called 'console' in /dev/ after removing this, some further comments get echoed to the screen:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared o
If I hit enter the following messages then come up:

However, I cannot login - first attempt, root:

Where might I find these missing library files?
I am glad to hear you found the problem, but I am curious where you got this filesystem? The filesystem you get from following the getting started guide in /opt/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target should have everything you need (it works for me via NFS and seems to for most). The first place I would guess to look for such files would be here.
Ah, it could be possible that not all the files were extracted then - I swiftly ran out of disk space when extracting to my virtual machine, which had about 2GB spare - I thought this would be plenty!
I shall find some space on a network server, create a new virtual drive and extract again
Okay, I'm pretty convinced I must have a corrupt install DVD, getting messages such as:
grep: invalid predicate `-qs'
and
rm: invalid predicate `-f'
and the recurring one:
sleep: 10: No such file or directory
Therefore, is there a link available to re-download the install files?
You can download the files from www.ti.com/davinciregistration once you have registered your board, those are some strange messages hopefully downloading it will help, and that it is not some incompatibility with your host Linux distribution.
I tried following that link before, but the https://www-a.ti.com/extranet/cm/product/dvevmsw/dspswext/general/homepage.shtml link will not load for me - is the TI extranet working?
That page is working from me, of course I am inside the TI network, but I have not heard of any other issues with it today so far.
