Hello Gilles,
Your mail below is kind of hard to read, the way it is formatted.
However, I understand that you mainly replaced the call of the static
version of mount.cifs by the busybox builtin mount, which may work
better. I also removed the "if" for checking the presence of
/static/mount.cifs, so that file can now be removed.

Hi Klaus,
Please find below a link to my modified init scipt:
cf: http : / / s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/k740/init740.zip (use save
as)
They key thing is to replace the cifs mount lines as below.
/static/mount.cifs "${NFSDIR}" /mnt-system -r -n -o
guest,noserverino,nounix > /dev/null 2>&1 && MOUNTED="yes"
mount -t cifs "${NFSDIR}" /mnt-system -r -n -o
user=guest,noserverino,nounix > /dev/null 2>&1 && MOUNTED="yes"
You may also consider adding some of the extra binaries necessary
for the pxe/cifs boot as an alternate minirt on the dvd.
cf: http : / / s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/k741/minirt_741.gz (use
save as) minirt_741.tgz is also available to check the content.
Regarding the e1000e network interface, the e1000 (without the
ending "e") works fine. Only the e1000e have a problem.
This is really weird and I have no clue what is the root cause of
this problem with that specific e1000e einterface.
Easy to chek it out with vmware using one of the following
parameters in the vmx file:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" ==> ok
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" ==> ok
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e" ==> fail
Best Regards,
Gilles
PS: Could you please ackowledge good reception of this email as it
seems that sometimes my email get rejected.
Acknowledged. Sorry about automatic rejections of your mails, I have a
fairly strict filter trying to cut down on odd-looking mail and spam
that somtimes may detect false positives.
Maybe kernel 3.16.3 will also solve the e1000e problem, though I did
not
find any mention on this in the kernel changelog.
