Yes, it works for me, the only thing I changed is the "chkconfig" line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/{portmap,nfsfs} and run "chkconfig reset", no more kernel error message and long delay of mounting nfs. Here is another thought, in order to mount /usr as nfs, should portmap be under /sbin instead of /usr/sbin? BTW, speaking of nfs, I have observed another problem, when I first login to a user whose home directory is nfs mounted from an HP server, sgi linux kernel prints NFS: server xxxx, readdir reply truncated NFS: nr=156, slots=2, len=10 All the i386 linux boxes don't exhibit this problem Dong
