Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble trying to get my new kernel build 2.6.1 to mount its root 
filesystem over NFS, I've enabled all the NFS kernel options via 'make 
xconfig' and tried various 'V3/TCP, V3/UDP, V2/TCP, V2/UDP' trys with no 
luck :(...the UDP tests, just give me ICMP: destination unreachable errors, 
after the portmapper just told me to use that port??? Go figure.

I can ping my client '192.168.34.11' from the server, no problem.  Also, 
server's iptables are not running to block any of this traffic.  Using 
nfs-utils-1.0.6 for nfsd/mountd/statd/etc.

Below is a sample run and logs using various V3/V2 with TCP/UDP settings for 
the KNFS client:

Thanks in advance.

=== Bootline that client booted with (I change the tcp,v3 settings for 
various runs) ===
console=ttyS0 root=/dev/nfs rw 
nfsroot=192.168.34.40:/tftpboot/Alpha1,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,v3
