Android on the MISTRAL/TI EVM AM/DM3730 NFS mounted rootfs

Everything works OK from the mmc card.

  After configuring for tftp uImage boot and
nfs for rootfs, boots OK  and serial console works fine, but LCD stops
at the "ANDROID" message after displaying the robot. Used the uImage and rootfs provided with the SDK.

Comparing a working android's processes (ps) with the nfs version
shows the android processes are not running.

  I built an new file system from the TI-Android-FroYo-DevKit-V2 UserGuide instructions and
it behaves the same.

 Is there a script that needs to be modified to
start the android processes when using nfs for the rootfs ??

Below are the differences in the running processes from the two systems.

 Logcat has messages indicating the settings.db
and system/etc/dbus.conf have permission problems but file permissions seem to be
the same as on the mmc card.

Also, the nfs mounted android continuously outputs a message every 3-4
seconds to serial  console as follows:

" # request_suspend_state: wakeup (0->0) at 212476989749 (2000-01-01
00:43:18.999237060 UTC)
