If you can't upgrade to RedHat 7.2, then the latest RedHat update kernel for RedHat 7.0 is 2.2.19-7.0.15. I have no idea if this kernel does support NFSv3, but I guess it does. (RedHat make a number of additions/modifications to a standard kernel - the number after the '-' is added by RedHat and probably means something like the 15th build of a RH kernel based on 2.2.19 for RH 7.0). Download from: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/en/os/i686/ The RedHat support site should have instructions on how to upgrade a RH kernel. You will probably still have to update the nfs-utils (and mount?) as per the FAQ.
