...so this has nothing to do with modules?

I'n suspecting that something isn't getting initialized correctly when the module is loaded. I've been trying to track it down, but no luck so far.

But I don't think this is an issue with the MODULAR infrastructure, but rather an issue with specific implementation of nfsserver module. It "just works" in a monolithic kernel, but fails with loaded module in a minimalist kernel.

One thing I have not tried yet is to build a GENERIC-MINUS-NFS kernel and see if the problem persists there.
