Bug#481162: NFS server not starting anymore (nfsd: disagrees about version of symbol nfsd_debug)

["Jacob Deker" <jacob.deker@gmail.com>]

Sorry, but it does not :-(
I get exactly the same message when I type "dmesg" after the rebooting process is over (for the record, of course I had already rebooted the machine after I upgraded the kernel), and I still do not see any [nfsd] processes using "ps -aux".
Yours,
Jacob.

a reboot should fix your issue.
