[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#519325: Bug#519325: Error "NFS over TCP not available from ..."

[Gustavo Lima]

Oded and Vagrant,

Thank you for all the help and usefull information.

It turned out to be some odd problem with the modules at /lib that were not
upgraded with the new kernel after I apt-get dist-upgrade the old etch
installation. So it had an influence on NFS.

Made a fresh install of lenny and everything ran smoothly.

My best regards and have a great weekend.

Gustavo
