Bug Description
I have a desktop system that was installed as 11.10 and now upgraded to 12.04 beta 2.
NFS mounts specified in /etc/fstab do not work. Booting gets stuck and I don't get a graphical login screen. When using recovery mode and bringing up the network, the error message I get is "Name or service not known" from mountall.nfs. After this, nothing seems to happen, at least not for several minutes.
I was able to work around the issue by configuring eth0 in /etc/network/
This is the line from /etc/fstab that defines my NFS mount (slightly redacted):
xxx.yyy.fi:/vol/zzz /common nfs rw,rsize=
Note that DNS resolution is necessary for mounting as I don't have the NFS server specified in /etc/hosts
This may be related to bug #862928 (which was about NFS servers but otherwise similar).
