NFS problem after moving from hamm to slink



Having a problem with root mounted NFS file systems on my PC's acting as X
terminals.  Everything has been working fine with hamm, but as soon as I
upgrade to the nfs-server (and net-base) in slink (either by a full install
of slink, or just upgrading the nfs-server), I'm getting all sorts of
'Permission Denied' and 'Operation Not Permitted' errors on boot from the X
terminals.  Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening??

Here's some information, if you need more, please let me know.

A small snippet from the X terminal display during boot:
Root-NFS: Got BOOTP answer from 192.168.254.240, my address is
192.168.254.241
Root-NFS: Got file handle for /tftpboot/192.168.254.241 via RPC

.

.

logon prompt appears, but cannot log in.
