Client cannot find NFS root
 

I think I have an environment issue as I can mount using a different client and entirely different config but when I try this new client for some reason NFS mount always fails. Below is the serial output I get when the failure occurs:

I am running Fedora v12.

Some problems with RPC and portmapper, it seems. Read more about NFS and RPC/portmapper and see whether your setup provides all the needed functionality.

Fixed
 

Thanks, in the end it was just simply I needed to update my etc/exports file as my rootfs location had been changed.
