    Hi Luo,

    Looks like there is problem with dhcp. Could you please try by having static ip? 

    U-Boot >setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.125

    U-Boot >setenv bootcmd 'tftp;bootm'

    U-Boot >setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=192.168.1.125 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${nfshost}:${rootpath},nolock mem=32M

    I assume your trying get uImage by tftp.

    Regards,

    Prakash

    Maybe manually specify your dhcp command alone to see if it works:

    dhcp 192.168.1.77:uImage

    Maybe double check that your TFTP server is running. This host command should work:

    chkconfig --list

    Double check that the "uImage" file is in the TFTP server's root directory. On Fedora 12, by default, it is at "/var/lib/tftpboot". That directory might in a different place on your host.

    Some oddness with your U-Boot env varables. NFS root is in one spot "/share/target" and another it is "/mount/target".
