I had same issue after jessie and kernel upgrade. It turned out to be a
version mismatch. I think by default it would try to mount NFSv4 but I
assume you were using v3 as I did.
I solved it by enforcing use of v3 for now and plan to use v4 later.
The issue is wellknown old version uses 16bit and newer 32bit for u/gid.
it all means you'll have to take care of the versions and update initram
and/or config to boot/mount properly
