I have a really annoying problem happening to my Sony Vaio laptop. It has a Xircom PCMCIA network card. I just loaded 9.0 on it, and mostly things are going well. The problem is that the nfs service will not start on boot. It always (100%) returns a "Network Unreachable" error. To get my nfs to work I have to log in as root and run "rcnfs restart," which works all (again, 100%) of the time. I've looked through /etc/init.d/rc3.d/ (I'm using runlevel 3 to avoid the startup graphics and login screen) to figure out how I could load something sooner, so I would have a confirmed network connection before calling nfs. Logging in as root to manually load nfs is a pain. Any ideas?

Does your /etc/rc.d/nfs contain the line: # Required-Start: $network $portmap in the "### BEGIN INIT INFO" section? Charles -- Linux: Because a PC is a terrible thing to waste. (By komarimf@craft.camp.clarkson.edu, Mark Komarinski)

Strange, I don't know why it is not starting normally then. What happens if you take out network and portmap in the runlevel you are using and add: /etc/rc.d/network start /etc/rc.d/portmap start to /etc/rc.d/boot.local and reboot?

Hi, I'd the same problem with the stations of my home network. Go to /etc/rc.d/nfs. Around line 54, you'll read : mount -at nfs rc_status sleep 1 Modify these lines like this: mount -at nfs & rc_status sleep 2, as explained in the file.
