Ever since Karmic was released, I have not been able to upgrade my Jaunty root over nfs system. I get the message "inotify_add_watch failed: bad address." as others have. I've tried manually upgrading the mountall package to versions 1.8 and 2.2 with no luck. I'm running kernel 2.6.31 that I compiled with the correct options for root over nfs, and has worked flawless with Jaunty.

From what I can gather, all the changes to the Linux startup in Karmic are to decrease boot time, which is nice. But how about leaving an option to revert to old behavior for those that rely on it?

Has anyone succeeded with root over nfs using Karmic yet? If so, care to share what your tweaks were?
