If I do an upgrade using NFS, as soon as it gets to the point of installing the distributions, it immediately comes back with a "Couldn't extract the following distributions" (all distributions are listed) error. The debug screen shows that the device was mounted to /dist but ls'ing /dist gives a "Stale NFS file handle" error. If I create another directory(while still in the install shell) and try doing the mount again, the mount command completes with no error but again ls'ing produces the "Stale NFS file handle" error. I've tried upgrading two different systems, from two different NFS servers with the same results. Both NFS servers contain the 2.1.6 Release directory and that upgrade works fine. I can upgrade another system if you need me to test anything. Thanks.
