And some explanation about changes on paths for testing purposes. Before I had exported the directory /mnt/isos which was a soft link to the directory /stv/tftpboot/isos that contains several iso files. Now and for testing I made the directory /mnt/isos2 and copied on it the openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live_x86_64.iso file: ls -la /mnt/ : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 ene 6 19:21 isos -> /srv/tftpboot/isos/ drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 66 ene 8 09:13 isos2 Anyway, before I had done tests using both paths (linked and real, /mnt/isos and /srv/tftpboot/isos/) with same result. -- 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.

Still, booting fails with the same message: ---------------- Starting rpc.statd ... portmapper not running..failed ---------------- I am unable to run ---------------- mount -t nfs server:/dir ---------------- without the -o nolock option.
