I believe it is because nfs_v3 and nfs_v4 have been made separate kernal modules. Applying some wild guess work, I was able to fix the problem by adding " nfsv3" to the end of the line "#%modules: nfs" in file /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-nfs.sh -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
