Meaning kernel 2.6. All Linux with this version of the kernel would exhibit this behavior.
Hope someone has some ideas out there? :)

Hmm, our i586 (athlonXP/pentium4) machines running SuSE 9.3 (kernel 2.6) never have this problem. So I think there must be something different in the x86_64 kernel implementations of NFS (?) [...] Default advise: use skge instead of sk98lin for Marvell Gigabit LAN chip, especially on x86_64. All my x86_64 (Suse9.3 / 10.0) boxes always failed to connect to NFS server on the first try, succeeded on the second try. Also, they oopsed, when accessed as NFS- or FTP-server in a specific pattern. All this was solved by using skge.
