Re: NFS permission denied / nfsd daemon not running
Problem solved, I purged the nfs packages then re-installed them, I guess it
was to do with the configuration at installation time when the original 2.2
kernel was installed (or maybe not but it's all I can come up with).
Anyway, might help someone else in same position.
