I had a similar problem when replacing the RedHat kernel on Enterprise 3 
Update 3.  The problem was that the RedHat nfs-utils package didn't work 
properly with the vanilla kernels (even though it's version 1.0.6, it's 
a very much patched version of 1.0.6).  After replacing the nfs-utils 
package with a vanilla 1.0.6, things worked fine.
