Comment 32 for bug 214810

I ran into this problem this morning for the first time, but now it is reliably reproducable on my work PC ;-|
For me the short-term solution to be able to work again is to disable the automounter (and to live without NFS on this host for the time being). Strangely, I was using Ubuntu 8.04 (rc to 8.04.1) on the same hardware in the same network environment for several months now (I don't reboot often though).

I'm more than willing to test new kernels, but upgrading the OS is not planned for this PC (I'm hoping that Long Term Support includes backports of bug fixes). Could there be a 2.6.27 kernel be made available for Ubuntu 8.04, please (there are two more suspected kernel bug fixes I'm asked to verify)?
