This topic has been in the list lately. Until a new version of the
kernel image package is available, you have two options.
1) Recompile the kernel using the kernel-source package.
2) Use my without-any-promises recompiled package which has a working
nfs.o module in it. This package is in
ftp.mcc.ac.uk:/pub/linux/distributions
and is called
kernel-image-2.0.6-custom-1.0.i386.deb
The problem appears to be with the nfs.o module which does not match
the kernel!
