Can you explain that more? Did you have your IPFIREWALL to default to
accept? (Otherwise, it's obvious that you have really serious trouble,
because the kernel will load, decide not to allow any further network
traffic and this will cause the kernel not to be able to get any data
via NFS any more.)
