Comment 2 for bug 452686

Okay, by adding this to my /etc/fstab on the nfs root filesystem, then regenerating the initramfs, it's booting again:

/dev/nfs / nfs nolock,tcp 0 0

So this differs from my jaunty config in two ways:

1. jaunty didn't require nolock. I don't know if it was being automagically added by mountall or what, but an nfsroot system would boot just fine without specifying nolock anywhere.

2. since karmic seems to ignore nolock in the kernel nfsroot parameter, my karmic config now requires an /etc/fstab whereas jaunty did not.
